This 12 month chemistry MSc is designed to act as a bridge between BSc and PhD degrees, but is equally suited to industrial chemists, who need to refresh their skills, or those wishing to broaden their research experience before taking up an academic post, such as university teaching assistant. The student will study six taught modules, worth a total of 90 credits, and carry out a substantial research project, also worth 90 credits.

There is significant interaction between systems, cellular and molecular neuroscientists in the Faculty of Life Sciences to deliver a wide range of projects focused on research into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal regulation and neurodegeneration in the CNS and PNS. A major focus is to understand processes of neurodegeneration in order to uncover aetiology and/or treat the common diseases of the nervous system, for example Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease and stroke.

Multi-scale theory and computation is a methodology for using the knowledge of the properties of a system at the molecular level (e.g. the design of new shampoos and dyes) to predict how it will behave at other scales either at the mesoscopic level (e.g. froth flotation and liquid-liquid extraction) or at the macroscopic level (e.g. the operation of fluidised bed dryers). Such multi-scale studies allow us to develop completely new materials, products and processes because we can think more creatively about how living things work together at the smallest possible level.

Clinical biochemistry applies basic biochemistry and analytical chemistry to medical diagnosis, treatment and management. It provides a sound, objective basis on which to gauge the extent of a clinical disorder, the biochemical consequences of a particular disease process, and the response to therapy.

Computational and theoretical chemistry can now provide important insights into, and predictions for, chemical systems ranging from small gas phase molecules to large biological molecules having thousands of atoms. This has been achieved through a combination of fundamental theories using both quantum and statistical mechanics coupled with modern computational techniques, allowing these theories to be applied to large and complex systems.
