We are continually investing into our excellent research facilities, giving students exposure to specialised equipment including modern scanning electron microscopes and confocal microscopes, organic and inorganic mass spectrometers and numerous items of specialist bench-top analytical equipment.
This programme offers the opportunity to gain a qualification by following a structured route in scientific research. Students can select from a wide range of theory courses appropriate to their individual research topic across the disciplines of chemical and life sciences. It is suitable for students who want to gain a postgraduate research qualification and strengthen their insight into the mechanics of research from both the literature and experimental perspectives.
The aims of the programme are to:
- Provide a critical understanding of the knowledge base required for a proposed research project
- Provide and build upon analytical, conceptual and research skills
- Achieve an understanding of the research methods appropriate to the chosen field
- Undertake a critical investigation of an approved topic.
