Course summary
Overview Chemistry is undergoing a digital transformation, and this MSc places you right at the centre of it. From pharmaceuticals and energy to sustainable materials and catalysis, industries now rely on AI, molecular modelling, and data‑driven chemistry to accelerate discovery and reduce costly laboratory work. Employers are actively seeking chemists who can design and test ideas in silico before they ever reach the bench - and this degree equips you with exactly those skills. UEA’s MSc in Data Science for Chemistry will train you in computational chemistry, data science, machine learning, and AI‑assisted molecular design. You'll master the tools required to analyse complex chemical data, including Python, statistics and data visualisation. You’ll also learn to simulate chemical systems, analyse complex datasets, and build predictive models that guide and accelerate experimental work. You’ll gain hands‑on experience with industry‑standard tools including molecular modelling software, and modern AI platforms used for property prediction, and materials screening. Your research project will enable you to apply these skills to real scientific challenges in chemistry and related areas. You’ll join UEA’s vibrant School of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, working alongside researchers at the forefront of theory, modelling, and digital innovation. This supportive environment helps you develop both technical excellence and creative problem‑solving abilities. Along with a wealth of knowledge, you’ll gain prestigious connections and significant research experience. Graduates with digital and AI‑enhanced chemistry skills are in high demand. This MSc gives you the expertise and confidence to pursue cutting‑edge roles in industry, research, and emerging fields shaping the future of chemical science.
