Course content

The challenges facing today’s world need STEM graduates able to work in multidisciplinary teams, at the interface of science and engineering.

Challenges such as climate change, developing green energy technologies, improving health and wellbeing, addressing plastic pollution, and making better medicines.

You will receive truly cross-disciplinary training – taught by world-leading researchers from multiple departments, through interactive, small-group classes.

You'll learn to combine skills in chemistry, physics, and materials science with chemical engineering principles to tackle global challenges.

Through taught modules and coursework exercises, you will study how to design, synthesise, measure, model and manufacture molecules, materials and devices – from the molecular to the systems scale.

You will apply these new skills to a real-world problem during your six-month cross-disciplinary research project, in close collaboration with industry (or a healthcare provider or charity).
