Chemistry is at the core of global sustainability intrinsic to clean energy, the circular economy, green manufacturing and healthcare. During this one-year course, you’ll learn how to apply your fundamental chemistry knowledge to these crucial areas, preparing you to capitalise on the growing demand for experts in sustainable chemistry across a range of sectors.

The course is designed to align with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals - in particular climate action, affordable and clean energy, good health and wellbeing, zero hunger and industry innovation and infrastructure - and you’ll explore the advanced chemistry theory and practice underpinning these areas with our world-leading researchers. 

You’ll develop sustainability skills including literacy in net-zero processes, the circular economy and the ability to critically analyse proposals to assess overall sustainability and recognise greenwashing. There will be opportunities to work both alone and with your fellow students to design and plan hypothetical new systems and methodologies to transform current, harmful processes in a creative and sustainable way.

Along with core modules in sustainable chemistry, you'll be able to specialise in an area of your interest, through optional modules and an original research project with one of our innovative research groups in our state-of-the art labs.
