What you will study

The MRes in Interdisciplinary Chemical Research is a highly research-focused programme, with 75% of the course dedicated to a major research project and 25% to taught modules that cover essential research skills. The first three months provide a rigorous foundation in conducting novel research. You'll learn planning and problem-solving, as well as how to execute your research, whether experimentally, computationally, or theoretically, depending on the project.
