Chemical Research. University of Reading

This programme aims to provide a flexible course that enables students to acquire specialist research techniques and expertise in their chosen area of Chemistry. The taught/research composition is similar to that of the MSc programme. The ultimate aim of the programme is to fully prepare students for a career in Research and Development. Students will be trained to undertake practical and theoretical research in their specialist area of chemistry with guidance from an experienced researcher. This necessitates that all students will be able to establish the extent of published knowledge in the chosen field, understand and summarise that knowledge and be able to report formally, both orally and in writing.
