Course summary

Dynamic and diverse with excellent research facilities and a strong international and interdisciplinary collaborative profile. We engage and work with multiple partners (academic and industry) to enhance the impact of our research with research funding from a range of sources. Our research covers all aspects of chemistry ranging from basic laboratory science to applied research that impacts on many aspects of modern life, such as new chemical compounds for energy conversion and storage, advanced materials such as liquid crystals, exotic magnets and superconductors, drug discovery/medicinal chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and environmental and analytical sciences. We have strong links with industry, which is reflected by major industrial sponsorship to fund research. Our aim is to conduct chemical research that ranks among the best in the UK and internationally. Example areas of research strength include Advanced Materials, Energy, Environment and Health, resulting in high quality research outputs including papers in Nature Materials, Nature Chemical Biology, Nature Chemistry, Nature Communications, and 18 patents for a range of applications including a new proton conducting membrane, novel catalysts and treatments and diagnostic agents for Alzheimer’s disease.
