PhD Inorganic Chemistry: The University of Manchester

Course description

A PhD research degree takes place over three-four years, during which you will carry out research into the area you have chosen and finish with the publication of your own thesis (on which you will be assessed). Throughout the course of your PhD you will receive supervision from a member of academic staff in the Department which takes the form of regular meetings about your work.

Topics include Coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, main group and organometallic chemistry, molecular magnetism, nonlinear optics and radiochemistry.
