The Chemistry PhD program delivers top-tier education and specialized training in chemical sciences. Leveraging Xian Jiaotong-Liverpool University's global research ecosystem, it prepares graduates for diverse research careers while developing advanced technical expertise.
This research-intensive program requires students to enroll with the University of Liverpool as off-campus doctoral candidates. Research activities occur at XJTLU facilities under joint supervision from faculty at both institutions.
Full-time doctoral candidates typically complete three years of research followed by one year of thesis writing, complemented by discipline-specific and transferable skills training. The maximum completion period is four years for full-time students (six years for part-time).
Jointly administered by XJTLU and the University of Liverpool, successful candidates earn a University of Liverpool degree accredited by China's Ministry of Education.
