Chemistry has entered an exciting phase of its development, where the chemist's understanding of molecular behaviour will be central to developing new areas of molecular science. Reflecting this, we offer multidisciplinary postgraduate research courses in nanomaterials, biomolecular science and chemical biology.

Chemistry has entered an exciting phase of its development, where the chemist's understanding of molecular behaviour will be central to developing new areas of molecular science. Reflecting this, we offer multidisciplinary postgraduate research courses in nanomaterials, biomolecular science and chemical biology. However, these courses only cover a fraction of the interests we have in molecular research. Molecular catalysis, genetic therapy, supramolecular chemistry, microfluidics, drug discovery, photovoltaics, fuel cells, environmentally benign chemistry, polymer architecture, liquid crystals, enzyme dynamics are just a few of the areas of research now flourishing in the department.
