Pursuing an MPhilPhD in UCL's Chemistry Department places you among the UK's leading research communities, collaborating with numerous scholars, faculty members, and potential industry partners. With extensive connections to science and technology sectors, the department provides outstanding career opportunities. Research spans diverse areas including physical, organic, inorganic, and computational chemistry - detailed strengths are outlined in the research sections below. Ideal candidates will possess a robust academic background in relevant fields (such as Chemistry, Materials Science, Biochemistry, Physics, or Computer Science) and a keen enthusiasm for Chemistry and its specialized branches. Most successful applicants hold or anticipate earning a UK Master's-level qualification (e.g., MSci, MChem, MEng, or MSc) before the program begins. Bachelor's-only applicants are rarely considered except in extraordinary cases. We strongly welcome applications from women and ethnic minority students, as these groups remain underrepresented in the discipline.
