Postgraduate Research (PhD and MSc) in the School of Chemistry

The School of Chemistry is one of the largest in the UK and an internationally recognised centre of excellence. Currently there are over 250 postgraduate and postdoctoral research workers, from different countries, working with more than 50 academic staff. In addition extensive collaboration with science based industries and academic centres throughout the world ensure that research in Bristol remains at the frontier of the subject.

The PhD programme usually takes 3-4 years to complete and the MSc by Research about 12 months. Postgraduates make a vital contribution in research whilst developing a variety of skills in chemistry and transferable skills in other areas for example, oral and poster presentations both in Bristol and at conferences, report writing, team working, public engagement in science and health and safety.

The School aims to recruit over 60 new postgraduates each year. Scholarships/grants are awarded in all branches of chemistry. We welcome applications from candidates in the UK and overseas. We hope that all the information you need is on these web-pages but if you have any queries do contact us.
