Materials Chemistry is one of the modern chemical disciplines underpinning a substantial portion of the chemicals sector.

The programme from the University of Bradford provides a unique general training in the area and includes the chance to specialise in aspects such as Polymer Chemistry, Inorganic Materials, Supramolecular Chemistry or Nanosciences. Both synthesis and characterisation are core parts of the taught aspects.

Materials Chemists work in a diverse range of areas including: medical devices; electronic devices; sustainable energy generation; nanomaterials; surface coatings; controlled delivery of drugs and agrochemicals and many other areas.
Transferable skills are also a key component and graduating students will be equipped for careers in both academia and industry.
