Course summary

An MSc or MA by Research is a more independent level of study where you’re assessed and awarded based on your research activity. Studying for an MA or MSc by Research can be an excellent and challenging opportunity to develop your intellectual skills and your academic interest in a particular field. The Masters by Research is a 12 month research project (24 months part-time). It is distinct from our taught Masters programmes and involves planning, implementing and writing up a research project. You will be supervised by two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication at the end of the course.We study the gas phase and aerosol composition of the troposphere and stratosphere, including local, regional and global scale air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and composition-climate interactions. Our research includes laboratory studies, ground and aircraft-based field measurements, data analysis and numerical modelling. We are engaged in several UK and international field campaigns and we are leading the development of advanced numerical models of chemistry, cloud systems, aerosol, and their effects on precipitation, atmospheric composition, and climate. Our interests also extend into modelling the chemistry of the mesosphere.
