Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 563 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Department of Earth Science and Engineering

We undertake interdisciplinary, world-leading research across the full spectrum of Earth Science and Engineering. Our research – both pure and applied – covers a broad range of subjects, from studying past climate in Antarctica to developing innovative means of capturing and storing carbon from our atmosphere, modelling environmental pollution and hazards, characterising the myriad flows of our oceans, and revealing the history of life on both our own planet and others.

School of Science, Engineering and Environment

The School of Science, Engineering and Environment (SEE) is the largest school at the University of Salford. More than 250 postgraduate researchers (PGRs) study with us. We offer full and part-time PhD programmes as well as split-site and distance learning ones. Our innovative MPhil programme is designed to transition students from the guided module-structure towards independent learning and researching and our MSc by Research students are supported acquiring the skills needed for a successful transition towards further research or into a workplace of their choosing.
