Masters (Research)
In a world where market-leading chemical companies have R&D budgets in the billions, there are excellent opportunities to put your chemistry skills to work in industry.
But where do you start? How about a graduate course where you spend most of your time working in industry - and getting paid to do it?
If you're keen to work in industry-based research - perhaps engineering new-generation materials, perhaps bringing new pharmaceuticals to market - then get your career off to the best possible start with the Master of Industrial Research (Chemistry).
The core of this unique degree is a major industry-based research project, but you'll also extend your chemistry skills, and cover commercially relevant topics including entrepreneurship, IP law and chemical regulations frameworks.
The Master of Industrial Research (Chemistry) is a 200-point course, made up of:
The research project will be conducted within industry laboratories, supervised by staff from the Faculty of Science and from the industry partner. You'll produce a project proposal and a final research report/thesis, and deliver a seminar on your findings.
You'll select your elective subjects from a wide range on offer, ranging from chemistry, business, statistics, modelling, ethics and scientific communication.
With a Master of Industrial Research (Chemistry), you could forge a career in research-focused chemical, pharmaceutical or biotech companies, with a job title such as materials chemist, pharmaceutical chemist, biotechnologist, polymer chemist, organic chemist, nanotechnologist, inorganic chemist, process chemist, product manager, business development manager or patent attorney.
