In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), 95 per cent of our chemistry research was rated as internationally recognised or higher, and over half rated as internationally excellent or higher.
Recognition for past and present Sussex faculty has been outstanding. We are proud to have counted among our faculty two Nobel prize winners – John Cornforth in 1975 and Harry Kroto in 1996 – and nine faculty, of whom four are still active at Sussex, have been elected Fellows of the Royal Society.
Chemistry has excellent facilities for synthesis and characterisation: advanced NMR suite, small molecule and protein x-ray diffraction, advanced mass spectrometry, single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, together with access to national and international facilities for high-performance computing and neutron diffraction.
We offer formal taught research and study skills training to all postgraduates. If you have any questions or queries relating to postgraduate study, contact the Research and Enterprise co-ordinator:
