Location of Imperial College London
Chemistry plays a pivotal role in determining the quality of modern life. The chemicals industry and other related industries supply us with a huge variety of essential products, from plastics to pharmaceuticals. However, these industries have the potential to seriously damage our environment, and hence there is a growing demand from society for a reduced reliance on fossil fuels and for greener manufacturing processes, as well as for future innovations to be built on more sustainable foundations. Green chemistry therefore serves to promote the design and efficient use of environmentally benign chemicals and chemical processes.
This multidisciplinary one-year course features the involvement of several world-class departments at Imperial. Taught modules cover topics as diverse as clean solvents, renewable chemical feedstocks, environmental chemistry, biotechnology, renewable energy resources (including solar devices and fuel cells), biofuels, water treatment, carbon capture strategies and environmental technologies. In addition to lectures, you will spend nine months working on a cutting edge research project, typically with supervisors from at least two different departments.
Graduates of this course can expect to have all the necessary skills and experience to apply green chemical technologies in either commercial or academic laboratories, the research project in particular equipping them admirably for PhD studies.
