The Department of Chemistry is responsible for chemistry teaching and research at Imperial College London. The department is one of the largest in the UK with around 63 academic staff, 10 teaching fellows, 95 postdoctoral research scientists and research fellows and 1150 students, including 240 PhD students, 150 MRes students and around 750 students studying undergraduate courses.[3] This community is further supported by over 45 support and administrative staff. The department is based across two sites.
The first is the Chemistry Building along Imperial College Road where students benefits from a dedicated teaching block looking over the Dangoor Plaza and the rejuvenated Queen’s Lawn at South Kensington campus. The second is the Molecular Sciences Research Hub (MSRH), a £170M new building for Chemistry on the White City Campus which sits at the heart of the White City Innovation District. The Molecular Sciences Research Hub is now home to all research in the Department of Chemistry and is where undergraduate students undergo their final year research projects.
