The MPhil is a two-year program tailored for students and professionals holding a degree in Chemistry or a related field. The first year consists of structured coursework, while the second year is dedicated entirely to research. Over these two years, participants receive comprehensive theoretical training in Chemistry while honing advanced research abilities through two key projects:
a summer research initiative in Year 1 resulting in a 15,000-word thesis, followed by an intensive year-long research project in Year 2 culminating in a dissertation not exceeding 60,000 words. This program is ideal for those seeking to deepen their chemical knowledge and enhance their research capabilities. Typically, graduates pursue PhD studies after completing the MPhil.
MPhil duration: normally two years. Year 1 combines academic instruction with a research component, while Year 2 involves full-time research culminating in a maximum 60,000-word dissertation.
