Bristol Chemical Synthesis (DTC)

A Doctoral Training Centre for a better future by education and training in the modern science of Chemical Synthesis.

Chemical Synthesis is the purposeful execution of chemical reactions in order to generate a desired product. Chemical products are the ubiquitous materials of life and society and include new and existing drugs, biologically and medicinally important biomolecules and analogues, a vast range of fine and effect chemicals, new materials, nanomaterials and polymers on which the texture and quality of our lives depend.

Schlenk Line: From Dynamic Laboratory Manual to Reality

This EPSRC-funded Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) has a bold vision to train a new generation of researchers for the UK chemical industry and academe. Graduates of the DTC will be outstanding practitioners of Chemical Synthesis and will be equipped with enhanced team-working and problem-solving skills that will enable them to address successfully the full range of molecular based problems of the future.

The Bristol Chemical Synthesis DTC is administered from the School of Chemistry, and receives further generous support in teaching and research funding from the a number of industrial partners.

The School is joint partners in another DTC in 'Functional Nanomaterials' administered by the Department of Physics.
