New Digital Chemistry MSc course launched for 2024
The Department of Chemistry is excited to announce a brand new MSc programme for September 2024, Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation and Robotics.
The course focuses on the concepts and techniques of AI, automation, robotics and machine learning and their applications in chemistry research to address key societal needs and global challenges. Students will develop skills essential for modern and cutting-edge practice or advanced academic pursuits through interdisciplinary collaboration and digital literacy.
This programme is an important addition to the University’s postgraduate portfolio. The University, in conjunction with Imperial College London, is creating a £12m research hub to develop state-of-the-art Digital Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Chemistry interfaces. This ground-breaking hub aims to position the UK as the global leader in Digital Chemistry and be at the forefront of the Digital AI Chemistry revolution.
Professor Gita Sedghi, Programme Director, said “The practice of Chemistry is changing. The launch of our Digital Chemistry MSc is in response to the rising demand from students and society, for programmes incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning. This course will equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to relate the concepts and techniques of AI to their Chemistry research and equip them for contemporary and pioneering professional practice or further study at the doctoral level.
The launch of our new Digital Chemistry MSc and forthcoming research hub marks an exciting step forward for the department and ensures that the UK and Liverpool are at the forefront of the AI chemistry revolution.”
The Digital Chemistry MSc is designed for UK BSc (Hons) Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Chemistry-related degree graduates, or equivalent for non-UK students, and will cover topics such as Digital Alchemy, Programming Fundamentals and Chemical Data, Discovery and Design.
Applications are now open for a September 2024 start. Apply online today.
