A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

The approaches used in Green Chemical Science often involve interdisciplinary studies in catalysis, synthesis, toxicology, analytical methodology, materials science, and biochemistry, in order to tackle global issues and problems that impact on sustainability.

MSc - Master of Science

Postgraduate study in Green Chemical Science aims to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to make important contributions to scientific research in this field.
You will learn about the minimisation of damage to human health and the environment from toxic chemicals, climate change and global warming, and the use of greener alternatives, including green production strategies and low-carbon technologies.
Areas of research interests open to exploration include:
- The use of renewable feedstocks
- Sustainable chemical synthesis
- Reducing and reusing food waste
- Remediation of pollutants
- Renewable energy production and storage
