Chemistry at Hull is taught by the leaders in the field – including members of the pioneering research team who paved the way for the LCD display technology that's on your smartphone, laptop, tablet and TV. This MSc allows you to explore advanced chemistry topics across the range of organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry.
The course will help you develop an understanding of where the forefront of chemistry lies and how research advances the boundaries of chemical knowledge. You’ll be trained in advanced practical skills required in a chemical research laboratory and undertake a significant piece of original research work in a selected field.
What you'll study
You’ll learn through a combination of practical classes, workshops, tutorials, masterclasses and lectures. You’ll work independently and within small groups to undertake research and problem-solving tasks. The culmination of the programme is an independent research project, where you’ll write a dissertation to present your results.
