The Chemistry Department at Imperial College is an internationally leading research centre, and achieved the top 5* rating in the Government’s most recent assessment of research quality. During the course you will work in one of the Department’s many research groups specialising in Nanomaterials research. Working alongside internationally leading researchers, you will acquire unrivalled research experience and, on completion of the course, will be able to plan and execute safely complex experiments, analyse data, prepare technical reports, give technical presentations and assimilate key ideas from the scientific literature. You will be strongly encouraged to publish the results of your research in a peer-reviewed international journal. In short, on completion of the MRes, you will be fully equipped to begin a PhD or embark on a career in nanomaterials research.

In previous years, experimental and theoretical research projects have been offered in the following areas:

- organic light-emitting diodes
- organic and dye-sensitised solar cells
- carbon nanotubes
- nanoparticle synthesis and characterisation
- self-assembly of nanomaterials
- high resolution microscopy
- microfluidic synthesis of nanomaterials
