Chemistry

Welcome to chemistry at NTU, currently home to 200 undergraduate and 50 postgraduate students within the Department of Chemistry and Forensics. Our courses are taught in modern, innovative teaching spaces, offering excellent career prospects, including accreditation by The Royal Society of Chemistry. We have an active academic, PhD and research community, and are committed to inspiring the scientists of the future, with our outreach programmes for local school children.

Research within the chemistry department span a diverse range of topics within the key areas of:  analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, synthetic chemistry, theoretical and computational chemistry and pedagogy. Our research includes the development of mass spectrometry solutions, biomolecular-materials interfaces, surface science, green chemistry, synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry, theoretical developments and computational chemistry. This research performed highly in the A03 and B12 REF units of assessment during the REF2014 exercise.

Our labs are housed in two state-of-the-art facilities, ISTeC and the Rosalind Franklin building, offering modern facilities for both teaching and research.
