The Department offers a number of study options to help you take your knowledge to the next level. Our research is organised into six main themes.
These play a key role in coordinating research activities, providing a range of opportunities for postgraduate and postdoctoral research and training within the Department. This research theme embraces the core disciplines of practical chemistry. It includes all aspects of synthesis across molecular length scales, from a chemical bond to a nanoparticle 10 to 10 -8 m , as well as the study of molecules as they undergo dynamic changes reaction mechanisms and kinetics.
The aim is to understand mechanistic processes, develop synthetic methods and create associated technologies that can deliver a molecular target quickly and efficiently, while consuming minimal resources i. This theme focuses on the development and application of novel molecular tools and techniques for the study of biology, biomedical understanding and ultimately industrial or clinical benefit.
By working closely with our collaborators in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotech, personal care and agritech sectors we are transforming our understanding of the mechanisms of disease, developing new platform technologies to support drug discovery science and product innovation pipelines, pioneering new and cost-effective molecular therapies, facilitating the repurposing of drugs and developing quality of life treatments.
Energy research within the Department of Chemistry covers the development, measurement and simulation of new molecules, materials and devices with tailored chemistry and innovative structures for energy generation, storage, transmission and efficient usage, enabling our transition to a low carbon future. At the heart of designing and understanding new and existing molecular processes is the need for qualitative or quantitative analysis of the species present. However, this distinction is becoming increasingly blurred, so this MRes course aims to provide you with a coherent overview of all these areas.
Students will graduate from the course with a solid knowledge base in the area, and they will also be challenged to develop their own ideas on how to focus academic and industrial research to meet the pressing challenges in catalysis.
Minimum academic requirement 2. A modest level of background chemistry or engineering knowledge is assumed. International qualifications The academic requirement above is for applicants who hold or who are working towards a UK qualification. English language requirements All candidates must demonstrate a minimum level of English language proficiency for admission to the College. For admission to this course, you must achieve the standard College requirement in the appropriate English language qualification.
Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful.
Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment.
There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree certificates. Offer holders will need to pay a deposit to secure your place. This will be deducted from the balance of your tuition fees.

Duration 1 Year. Our courses have broad appeal to students, so you might want to apply for more than one. We consider all applications for our courses in the same way, all courses have the same broad entry requirements, and share the same core Chemistry modules.
It is possible to transfer onto another course in your first or second year, provided you meet the pre-requisites for that course for example, A level physics is required for transfer to the MSci Chemistry with Molecular Physics programmes during year 1; transferring to MSci Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry in year 2, would require having taken Medicinal Chemistry 1 in year 1. The extended project qualification EPQ is a really positive addition to your education.
However, we do not use it to shortlist candidates for interview as we recognise that this option is not available to every student. An EPQ would also not form part of an offer nor be used in making adjusted offers. It is of immense value though in terms of your own personal and skills development, and can provide additional support to your personal statement.
The EPQ does not offer any intrinsic advantage to applicants though. We will consider the final grades you achieve without discrimination over those applying without resits. Each year we welcome students resitting exams, including students reapplying to us after a gap year. You should make it clear on your UCAS application what you are re-sitting. We will only be able to consider a third subject in another area under very limited circumstances e.
In practice, due to the increasing level of competition over recent years, it would be unlikely we would be able to shortlist such an application. You are welcome to get in touch with our Chemistry Admissions Team to discuss your situation and for advice on subject choices. Some qualifications, such as the European Baccalaureate, Romanian Baccalaureat and Polish Matura, usually only allow Chemistry and Maths to be taken often alongside a compulsory language.
In these cases, the third subject discussion does not apply, except if applying for MSci Chemistry with Molecular Physics, where Physics is required. An A-level or equivalent is preferred, but language ability will also be assessed at interview.
We provide support resources in molecular biology and introduce new concepts slowly throughout the course. We accept students with a wide range of qualifications; we are proud to be an international department and so we consider a huge number of qualifications.
You must satisfy the conditions for college requirement for English Language Chemistry requires the college's Higher Level. We appreciate COVID has caused disruption for some students in obtaining their practical endorsement, so do contact us if this is the case.
As with the the EPQ, a work experience placement has enormous value for your personal and skills development, but this is also not available to everyone.
Obtaining relevant work experience is not a specific requirement for studying Chemistry with us. You should certainly mention CREST awards, EPQs and work experience in your application if relevant to your application to us and where it supports your personal statement. However, we don't accept them as part of an offer, and we cannot make adjusted offers based on performance in an EPQ or other aw.
Your predicted grades should at least meet our minimum entry requirements, and we prefer students to be taking Biology, Physics, Further Maths or Economics alongside Chemistry and Maths, as this combination provides a more comprehensive scientific training overall.
Other third subjects are only considered under limited circumstances, and only where they directly support the degree programme. You can find further details in the Education and Exams section above. Discuss your hobbies and interests that are personally important to you, but importantly, what you have gained from those experiences or skills you have developed. Your personal statement should be an honest, reflective statement about you and your motivation to study chemistry at university level.
How you choose to convey this is entirely your choice, and we accept that your motivations might not solely include your learning in chemistry, but your other subjects too, and any extra-curricular activities, hobbies or interests. Your motivation and interests are unique to you, consequently we know that every personal statement will necessarily be different and individual.
Think about how Chemistry links to wider global issues that engage your interest. We understand and appreciate that some applicants may have several UCAS choices to different subject areas, such as Medicine, Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry or other subjects, in addition to Chemistry. You can only submit one personal statement on UCAS, which should highlight your main subject focus, but of course, you should draw from your other subjects and interests in this.
However, w e are unable to accept alternative personal statements, and would use the statement submitted with your UCAS application as part of our interview shortlisting process.
Motivation and enthusiasm for Chemistry are particular important to us, and one factor we look for when shortlisting applicants for interview. Due to the high level of competition, with over applications per year, we will not be able to consider applications from Medicine applicants selecting Chemistry as their fifth choice.
Chemistry applicants who have also applied for other subjects, such as Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science or Biomedical Engineering, are unlikely to be shortlisted for interview. For Natural Sciences applicants, we will be looking specifically for students who show strong motivation towards chemistry. You can apply for deferred entry via UCAS from the outset, something we are happy to accommodate. Applicants may decide to defer their entry at other stages.
In principal, this is not usually a problem, but each request would need to be considered and approved by the department and by Registry.
If you decide to defer your entry after receiving an offer from Imperial, you should email ns. Applicants are usually only permitted one deferment for one academic year.
The College may consider requests for a 2 year deferment due to enrolment in military service formal evidence required. Applicants who defer their entry may be subject to repeating certain admission requirements where appropriate e. Where these requirements are not met, the College reserves the right not to confirm your admission.
The college supports a range of online courses , including an EdX Maths course for Year 12 and 13 students. These are completely optional, but you may find the this useful or of interest. We usually have over applications per year, and this has slowly increased over the last few years.
