Chemistry at Swansea University offers an excellent environment for learning and research at our purpose-built laboratories which draw on expertise from our Engineering, Medical and Science departments. The newly opened (2017) Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Science and Engineering of Swansea University has a steadily growing number of staff, and a large number of national and international Post-Docs, PhD, Master and bachelor students. The Department is composed of six between associate and full professors and ten between lecturers and senior lecturers. The institution has excellent, purpose-built modern laboratories with access to a wide range of instrumentation, ideal for organic synthesis and the developing of the proposed research. Suitable office space is available for the project with computer and IT support. These research efforts are supported by a strong and tight collaboration with the College of Engineering, which ranked second in the UK in research environment.
