Overview
Why choose this programme
The Chemistry programme at the University of Surrey has a small/medium-sized PhD cohort, and it’s home to an intimate and collegiate working community. Our small group sizes mean you’ll receive close and careful supervision, with easy access to all the help and support you need to succeed. In the Department, there’s a long tradition of close interaction between supervisor and student.
Our research interests span much of the discipline of Chemistry. Many of the research themes are aimed at solving real-world problems, from supplying clean energy and addressing microplastic pollution, to the discovery of new drugs and drug delivery systems, and analysing ever more challenging forensic samples. This focus will provide you with the opportunity to undertake research with the potential to benefit society.
Much of our research is published in some of the foremost journals in the world, allowing our PhD students to witness the impact their work has in their field of research. Our PhD students have an excellent record of winning prizes for oral and poster presentations at scientific meetings, not only within the University but at national and international levels. Within our Department, we encourage all our PhD students to attend and present at meetings.
