Welcome to Chemistry

Chemistry was one of the first disciplines established as a School of study at UEA in the early 1960’s. We have a reputation for a long and distinguished tradition of high quality research.

The School has an active research programme in chemistry and has, over the past five years, been awarded substantial funding to provide laboratory refurbishment and the acquisition of major new instrumentation. Chemistry research is led by 28 faculty members working in conjunction with 31 postdoctoral fellows and over 76 postgraduate students.

As you will gather from the research pages of our staff, every part of the School is involved in cutting-edge research activities, having an impressive track record in attracting grants and generating outstanding publications.
