Our Research

The School of Chemistry is
ranked 4th for “research power” in RAE 2008.

Research Themes

Synthesis

Synthesis involves the atom-by-atom construction and elaboration of molecules using reagents as precision building tools. The power of synthesis allows us to design and realise fantastic molecular architectures that possess unprecedented biological and physical properties. Outstanding publications, substantial grant income, and a strong demand for our postgraduates and postdoctoral workers show that synthesis in Manchester is thriving.

Awards and Scholarships

A number of School Awards and scholarships are available for the Session starting in September 2012
