Postgraduate research courses

 

The Department of Chemistry provides a vibrant environment for postgraduate study. We foster an interdisciplinary approach to science, cutting across physical and life sciences to explore new chemistry frontiers and deliver fundamental solutions for a sustainable and healthy society. Our growing research base offers opportunities in many different aspects of chemistry and its applications, with a major focus on the chemistry of life.

Our researchers are using the transformative power of chemistry to advance understanding of the life sciences and building new materials with creative fusions of chemistry and biology. We also have active research programmes with King’s Division of Cancer Studies and with King's Institute of Pharmaceutical Science. To this we add state-of-the-art biophysical approaches, complemented by computational and synthetic/biosynthetic methods.

We also have growing expertise in chemical biotechnology and green chemistry. Research projects may be co-supervised by staff from different Research Divisions and Departments at King’s, to support collaboration and application of chemical innovation especially in medicine and biology.
