Course summary

Our MPhil is a one year programme (or up to three years part time) which focuses on the design and execution of an original research project, which occupies two thirds of the year, with remaining time devoted to courses associated with postgraduate training and preparation of a chemistry MPhil thesis.

Chemistry at Southampton has a community of 200 people actively involved in research. Each year we accept more than 50 postgraduate students from a variety of backgrounds to study for chemistry research degrees. While much of our research begins with concepts at a fundamental level, we are passionate about using the findings to make a real impact on the world around us. The work of a research chemist is to find real-world problems produces business opportunities, enhances the quality of life, creates jobs, and boosts the economy, Our research has a significant impact on society, industry, government, and public service. Our own graduate school offers a supportive environment for postgraduate study and personal development. This includes integrated training modules supervised by our scientists and a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to science. While most entrants have a background in chemistry we also welcome students with training in subjects including: biochemistry physics polymer science environmental sciences engineering.
