Research Activities

The Department of Chemistry is one of the largest departments in the University, with a long established international reputation for research. The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise rated 70% of our research output as "internationally excellent" or "world leading." Some of our research has been featured on the front cover of academic journals.

The unique strength of the department is excellence in:

• The traditional branches of chemistry (organic, inorganic, physical and theoretical chemistry).
• Combined with four interdisciplinary research clusters.

Our four research clusters provide an interface with industry, and with research programmes in the rest of the university. For more information, use the links on the left.
