MPhil Chemistry通常为期一年，着重于原始研究项目的设计和执行。该项目将占全年的三分之二
Usually a one-year programme that focuses on the design and execution of an original research project. The project will occupy about two-thirds of the year, with the remainder of the time devoted to lectures and preparation of a chemistry MPhil thesis. All students planning to complete a PhD must formally register for an MPhil degree in the first instance. Students can then transfer after one year to a PhD registration upon completion of a mini-thesis describing the project objectives and preliminary results. You will normally complete a PhD programme in a period of 3 years after entry to the graduate school. Chemistry at Southampton has a community of 200 people actively involved in research. Each year we accept more than 50 postgraduate students from a variety of backgrounds to study for chemistry research degrees. While much of our research begins with concepts at a fundamental level, we are passionate about using the findings to make a real impact on the world around us.
