PhD in Nanoscience DTC PhD (NoWNANO)

NOWNANO builds on the world-leading expertise in all nanoscience within Manchester and Lancaster universities to offer a broad interdisciplinary doctoral training centre (DTC). PhD students receive initial training that shows them the breadth and potential of nanoscience, before they focus on mastering one specific area of the subject. NOWNANO DTC offers many extra opportunities compared to traditional PhD, such as student conferences, joint events with other DTCs, innovation and commercialisation training, and outreach events. All these contribute to building a group of outstanding scientists that will help to lead world research in nanoscience in the future.

PhD in Chemistry

University of Kent, Canterbury Campus

We make every attempt to allocate you to a supervisor directly in your field of interest, consistent with available funding and staff loading. When you apply, please give specific indications of your research interest – including, where appropriate, the member(s) of staff you wish to work with – and whether you are applying for a studentship or propose to be self-funded.

PhD in Physical Sciences of Imaging in the Biomedical Sciences MSc/PhD

University of Birmingham

This is an interdisciplinary programme that draws on skills and expertise from across the spectrum of science, engineering and medicine at Birmingham.

PhD in Medicinal Chemistry

Cardiff University

Research in the Welsh School of Pharmacy in Cardiff currently encompasses aspects of all facets of the study of drugs, including: the discovery of new potential drug entities, using synthetic chemistry; formulation of drugs to achieve targeted responses; pharmacological studies of mechanisms of drug action; as well as researching elements of current medical and pharmaceutical practice.

PhD in Organic Chemistry PhD

The University of Manchester

The main areas of research are Biomimetic chemistry, long-range stereochemical control, medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry, synthetic and mechanistic organic chemistry.

PhD in Materials Chemistry and Interfaces

Queen Mary, University of London

We welcome postgraduate students and visiting research fellows who wish to undertake research in our areas of interest (see below). Research students are registered for University of London degrees (MPhil/PhD) and work under the supervision of members of academic staff. Students may receive financial support (research studentships) offered by the research councils (including CASE studentships in collaboration with an industrial sponsor).

PhD in Chemistry PhD/MPhil

University of Birmingham

Over the last three years, expenditure of over £2 million has allowed the School of Chemistry to purchase new instrumentation and refurbish and redevelop its facilities for research and teaching. This has been accompanied by the creation of 15 new staff positions. This increased research strength has been recognised by the research councils, who have given substantial support for research in the School in the last few years.

PhD in Theoretical Chemistry PhD

The University of Manchester

A PhD research degree takes place over three to four years full-time and research areas include Computational chemistry, modelling of chemical and biological systems, QM-MM method development and theory of biocatalysis.

PhD in Inorganic Chemistry PhD

The University of Manchester

Topics include Coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, main group and organometallic chemistry, molecular magnetism, nonlinear optics and radiochemistry.

PhD in Organic Synthesis

Cardiff University

This programme offers knowledge and expertise for a career in the pharmaceuticals and fine chemical sectors, teaching, biomedical research fields, research and managerial roles in general manufacturing industry (eg food, cosmetics, petrochemical etc).
