Course summary

Chemistry with AI is a rapidly evolving industry, with AI tools such as machine learning, automation, and robotics accelerating chemical discoveries to address key societal needs and global challenges. Our Chemistry with Artificial Intelligence (AI) MSc is a cross-disciplinary programme that provides Chemistry graduates with expertise in AI, automation, robotics, and digitalisation in research. Students will develop critical digital skills and apply them across a range of chemical contexts, including pure materials, pharmaceuticals, and formulated materials. Students will have exclusive access to the £81M Materials Innovation Factory, a leading hub for AI-driven Chemistry, automation, and robotics. Introducing students to the fundamentals of chemistry laboratory automation, from creating simulation environments to programming embodied robots for laboratory experiments, takes place in the Central Teaching Laboratory, where outstanding facilities bring hands-on learning to life. The programme also offers valuable industry connections, helping students build professional networks and gain insight into industry applications. Learning is reinforced through authentic assessment, where students complete tasks that simulate real-world scenarios, ensuring they graduate with practical, industry-relevant skills. Please note: We constantly review and develop our postgraduate programmes. This MSc is also available with the alternative title Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation and Robotics MSc for entry September 2025. Students have the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles.
