Key facts
- We have research Industrial Heterogeneous Catalysis program of the University of Glasgow covering: new catalytic materials, petrochemicals, fine chemicals, energy, fuels and catalyst deactivation.
- Research at the School of Chemistry has developed and grown over the years. Our Heter-ogeneous Catalysis Section has some of the best-equipped labs in the UK, attracting industrial support from companies such as: Johnson Matthey, BP, Syngenta, SABIC, Saudi Aramco, Huntsman, Sasol, Invista & Innospec.
- This program is designed to give students the appropriate practical research skills and theoretical knowledge to embark on a future career in industry or academia.
Career prospects
The two main career paths for students would be further study for a PhD or move into the chemical industry. The program would give students the skills, both practical and theoretical, to undertake a PhD. The program would also equip students to work in any aspect of the chemical industry. Students will gain analytical skills in terms of data analysis, interpretation of published work and practical methodologies. They will also understand where heterogeneous catalysis fits into facilitating the chemical industry allowing them to rapidly fulfill plant support, research, QA and QC roles.
Job titles after completion of this program are varied, from Research Project Manager, Chemical Engineer, to Research Chemist. This program also prepares those seeking a career in academia or research and development.
Courses include:
- Catalyst Activation and Deactivation
- Catalyst Structure and Function from Bulk to Surface
- Catalyst Testing and Industrial Process Development
- Preparation of Catalytic Materials
