What will I learn?

Chemical technologies enrich our quality of life, creating new developments in areas from drug discovery to transitional metal chemistry. You’ll be part of a vibrant world-leading research community. Inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical or medicinal chemistry – we welcome projects falling within our wide range of research interests. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
