The School of Chemistry has new PhD studentship opportunities on a regular basis. Check the Studentships page to see our current list and check back often to see what new projects are on offer.
We promote and support high quality postgraduate training in all branches of Chemistry. We perform high quality fundamental and applied research, meeting the needs of the chemical industry, academia and commerce within the UK and elsewhere.
A PhD degree in chemistry will equip you to lead research projects in academia or industry, and also opens the door to numerous other careers in the financial sector, management, patent law, government and civil service, publishing and so on.
We also offer one year taught masters courses in Materials Chemistry and Medicinal and Biological Chemistry which will offer an excellent introduction and training opportunity for those interested in research in these areas of chemistry.
The University runs Open Days for prospective postgraduate students. This is a good opportunity to come and see for yourself what great advantages studying at Edinburgh would provide and speak directly to some of our staff. If you are interested in future Postgraduate Open Days and want to be notified, please e-mail postgrad.openday@ed.ac.uk
We also welcome informal visits and enquiries by prospective students any time. Please complete the online form to request a visit or more information.
