Research projects
In the later stages of your course (BSc - Level 3 and MChem - Level 4), you will be required to carry out an undergraduate research project. You are able to do a project in any of our research groups. We also offer education-based projects for those students interested in pursuing a career in teaching.
The BSc - Level 3 projects are designed to last for one semester, while the MChem - Level 4 projects span two semesters. These projects give every student a taste of the cutting-edge research we do in the Department. In a lot of cases, students find their results are published in leading journals - so not only will you have experience working on innovative research, you can also boost your CV by having your name on a published article.
Our research activities span the full range of chemical science, including:
- Synthetic organic chemistry
- Biological chemistry
- Polymers
- Catalysis
- Organometallic chemistry
- Green chemistry
- Fluorine chemistry
- Computational modelling
- Nanoparticles
- Molecular spectroscopy
- Atmospheric chemistry
- Electrochemistry
