Overview

Materials Chemistry is focused on studying the role chemistry can play in areas such as nanotechnology, electronics, polymers and energy storage. Materials chemists study how fundamental knowledge of chemistry could be put into practical applications.

Careers

From professional employment to further study and professional training, the graduates of the Material Chemistry with Work Placement programme offered by University of Glasgow go into a wide range of destinations.

As well as building subject specific knowledge and skills throughout your degree, you’ll also develop transferable skills by:

Analysing materials and chemical systems independently, applying core concepts from inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical chemistry to draw robust conclusions.

Evaluating experimental evidence critically, assessing measurement uncertainty and data quality to justify interpretations.

Communicating materials chemistry clearly through scientific reports, presentations and visual data, adapting to specialist and non‑specialist audiences.

Applying advanced synthetic, characterisation and data‑analysis techniques to investigate materials and reactions.

Designing and delivering an extended materials‑chemistry project, planning methods, troubleshooting and assessing outcomes against the literature.
