Sustainable Chemistry (Taught)

Prepare to tackle the most urgent sustainability challenges we face. Our Sustainable Chemistry Masters course provides the skills and knowledge you need to boost your career prospects in this growing global field.

Chemistry has a key role in helping us find a sustainable future. You’ll learn how to measure the sustainability of products and processes, and develop transferable skills for roles in a sustainability-focused chemical sector.

You’ll deepen your understanding with options for specialist study and find solutions to global challenges. Explore how chemistry can help develop carbon-free fuels, create materials for energy storage and discover innovative plastic recycling methods.

Study with us and learn how to implement greener, energy-efficient production techniques in high demand.

Engage in specialist modules exploring how sustainable chemistry tackles major challenges, such as developing carbon-free fuels and new recycling methods for plastics
Conduct independent research with world-leading teams within the School's brand new research-focused Molecular Science Building
Learn key principles of sustainability, the circular economy, and life-cycle assessment
Delve into advanced areas of sustainable chemistry, gaining insights into cutting-edge research

The modules are taught in a variety of ways, and encourage enquiry-based learning and problem solving, enabling graduates to think laterally and make complex decisions when entering the world of work or further study.

Modules are assessed primarily through coursework, including short reports and presentations.

Some modules include group work to develop and discuss ideas. The research project is assessed, in part, by the submission of a dissertation.
