Welcome to the MRes in Molecular Science and Engineering
The course is taught by world-class researchers from several Imperial departments, and includes a six-month industry-focused research project. In this way, students obtain a unique, transdisciplinary and collaborative research education, and graduates are equipped with an unparalleled perspective – as well as a set of fundamental and applied skills – as they embark on their future careers.
The course is particularly relevant to:
- Scientists wanting to focus on the practical applications of their research.
- Engineers wanting to better understand the fundamentals of molecular science.
- Students wanting to gain practical experience in industry.
