Course summary

Our MRes in Interdisciplinary Chemical Research provides a unique opportunity to work with two academic supervisors from multiple specialisms on an interdisciplinary research project. This will encourage you to think innovatively, outside of the traditional boundaries of chemistry. You will also gain key skills in research techniques, analytical and ethical thinking, project planning, and communication. This MRes provides the ideal platform for anyone contemplating a career in scientific research, or associated fields. Key benefits

• You will initially be based in the heart of London at the Department of Chemistry’s Britannia House (near London Bridge), where you will be taught using state-of-the-art lab research facilities.

• The Department of Chemistry is research-focused but excels in teaching as well, ranking 1st in London (source: Guardian University Guide 2020 - League Table for Chemistry).

• This is a research-led course taught by staff who are recognised leaders in their fields.

• You will be studying innovative modules covering modern interdisciplinary research skills, with a focus upon chemistry.

• Most of the course is an open-ended research project, where you will work with two expert academic supervisors drawn from different specialisms. This project will enable you to work outside of the traditional boundaries of chemistry, ideally to address cutting-edge research topics and real-world issues.

• Your research supervisors can be from multiple disciplines including Engineering, Physics, Imaging Sciences, Dentistry, Neuroscience, The Francis Crick Institute and The Randall Centre for Cell & Molecular Biophysics. This allows you to explore diverse topics aligned to your interests.
