Do you want to have real impact in an area such as drug design, climate change,fighting pollution, or smart materials development? Chemists who can unlock the power of artificial intelligence (AI) are in huge demand globally when it comes to finding new medicines and sustainable materials. It’s fair to say they’re creating a new tomorrow for everyone as AI revolutionises how drugs and materials are discovered, developed and produced.
Applying the power of AI
During the course, you’ll explore AI applications in chemistry using large datasets, powerful computing architectures and advanced learning algorithms. As you develop your understanding of how to apply AI techniques and technologies, you’ll also learn from our deeply involved industry partners, who take an active role throughout the course.
During the first two years, you’ll study the fundamental basis of chemistry, and then go on to learn programming, machine learning and the skills and theory you need to apply AI to chemistry. In third year you’ll do an INTRA work placement, while in your final year, you’ll carry out independent research in an area of applied chemistry.
Future-proof your career
Given the scale of the chemical pharmaceutical industry and the dearth of chemists with specialist AI know-how, graduates will be in particularly high demand. You may go on to work for large multinational companies in the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical or materials sectors, but could also choose to join a start-up or small business that needs your expertise.
