Welcome

Professor Kevin Booker-Milburn, Director of the Bristol Chemical Synthesis DTCWelcome to the Bristol Chemical Synthesis Centre for Doctoral Training 

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Bristol Chemical Synthesis Centre for Doctoral Training (BCS CDT) for excellence in all aspects of synthetic chemistry. The BCS CDT is funded by EPSRC, the University of Bristol and various partners from the Chemical Industry with a total investment exceeding £10M. This funding is providing a unique four-year PhD training in Chemical Synthesis. This encompasses the full breadth of the discipline, including organic & inorganic synthesis, catalysis, mechanisms, supramolecular chemistry and biological chemistry.

Through our website you will learn in more detail about the Centre's aims, how the course is structured and you will meet the staff and students and learn more about their projects, publications and experiences so far.

We hope you enjoy reading about what we have achieved so far and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments.
