CHEMISTRY SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS
We have excellent, purpose-built modern access to diverse laboratories and research infrastructures. High-quality, high-impact chemistry research is also thriving in the University’s world-class centres such as The Centre for NanoHealth, Institute of Mass Spectrometry, Institute of Life Sciences, Energy Safety Research Institute, Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Centre, Welsh Centre for Printing and Coating, Centre for Water Advanced Technologies and Environmental Research and Materials Research Centre. We work closely with the College of Engineering, Swansea University Medical School and other science departments to create an environment of research excellence. This allows students and staff to invent, innovate and develop products to make step-change advances with impact on current global challenges.
CHEMISTRY MSc By Research/ MPhil/PhD FT PT We invite applications from
Health, Food and Drug Chemistry Chemistry research provides new routes to more effective, cheaper and less toxic therapies and to non-invasive disease detection and diagnosis tools. It will lead to transformation of the entire landscape of drug discovery, development and healthcare, which is currently unaffordable and needs to benefit more patients. Our areas of postgraduate research and training are in: • Colloid Chemistry • Drug Delivery • Drug Particles • Multi-action Therapeutics • Pharmaceuticals Chemistry of Materials Research areas include: • 2D Materials, Graphene and Electronic Materials • Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering • Imaging • Micro and Nanostructures • Microfluidics • Polymer Synthesis • Recycling of Materials • Smart Scaffolds
RESEARCH COURSES Entry Requirements Typically a 2:1 honours degree or a master's degree with merit in chemistry or related subject. English Language Requirement IELTS 6.0 Overall (with no individual component below 5.5) or Swansea University recognised equivalent.
well-qualified candidates whose research interest focuses around the themes of Energy Chemistry; Health, Food and Drug Chemistry; Chemistry of Materials; Semiconductor Chemistry and Surface Chemistry One of the key areas where advances in chemistry will be needed is in providing solutions to the global energy challenge. Research areas include: • Batteries and Supercapacitors • Energy Storage and Generation • Green Chemistry • Oil and Gas Chemistry • Photochemistry, Catalysts and Solar Reforming of Biomass and Spectroscopy.
