Research degrees in Chemistry

The School of Physical and Chemical Sciences at QMUL is one of the UK’s elite research centres, according to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF), the UK-wide assessment of university research. We are home to an active and multi-disciplinary research programme. Our research staff are engaged in a wide range of projects across the broad sweep of Chemical and Psychological sciences.

Our Chemistry PhD programme offers students the opportunity to conduct research within a range of areas. We have an online list of available PhD projects. Applicants are also encouraged to contact prospective supervisors to discuss potential PhD opportunities within their area of expertise. Information on our research areas can be found on the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences research pages. 

We advertise a number of funded PhD projects throughout the year.

Further information on PhD projects and funding is available on the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences webpage. 

Entry Requirements

Requirements for each PhD project vary but generally, we are looking for applicants who hold, or expect to receive:

  • A masters qualification is desirable but not always essential.
  • Relevant experience within the field may also be taken into account.
