Biocatalysis

Overview

State-of-the-art equipment, new laboratories and first-rate spectroscopic services support and compliment these activities. 

Each student has at least one supervisor and an advisor with pastoral responsibility.

In addition to superb research facilities, postgraduates in the school have a graduate common room and use of a computer cluster. 

You receive training in health and safety, fire fighting, library skills and written and oral presentation skills.

Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. 

The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.
