About the course
This industry-focused chemistry research masters is built around a major supervised research project completed within an industry setting, allowing students to work on real-world R&D problems while building a professional network. Alongside the project, students extend their chemistry capability and study commercially relevant topics such as entrepreneurship, intellectual property law, and chemical regulatory frameworks. The course is designed in consultation with industry to ensure skills remain aligned with evolving sector needs.
What you might learn
Students develop advanced research and technical chemistry skills through an industry-based project, strengthening their ability to evaluate, interpret and analyse scientific data in professional contexts. The course also aims to broaden employability through professional subjects that build communication and applied industry capabilities. Graduates gain practical understanding of commercialisation-related areas such as IP, entrepreneurship and regulatory environments.
Career outcome
Graduates are prepared for industry-based research and development roles across chemical, materials, pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations. The substantial industry project and networking opportunities support pathways into applied research, product and process development, and related technical specialist positions. The commercial and regulatory content also supports careers intersecting science with innovation, compliance and technology transfer.
