This course focuses on the challenge of designing molecules and synthesizing them in an efficient manner on a meaningful timescale. The ability to do this has the potential to unlock new opportunities to address societal challenges. This multidisciplinary programme will combine a 9-month project of original research with courses and training in the latest approaches designed to automate, analyze and understand synthetic processes. In contrast to MSc programmes, the ethos of the MRes course is to focus on learning through research as well as interactive workshops and group work based on independent research and critical evaluation. The material will be delivered by academics and industry partners, who are experts in the design and application of synthesis in a modern context. Graduates can expect to receive training in all of the necessary skills and experience required to apply cutting-edge synthetic approaches in commercial and academic laboratories. The extensive research project is a strong foundation for further study to PhD level.
