The School of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow has a long tradition of research in heterogeneous catalysis. This research has developed and grown over the years and has resulted in the Heter-ogeneous Catalysis Section, which have some of the best-equipped labs in the UK and has attracted strong industrial support from a range of international companies including:
- Johnson Matthey
- BP
- Syngenta
- SABIC
- Saudi Aramco
- Huntsman
- Sasol
- Invista
- Innospec
The School has very recently developed an exciting and unique MRes programme entitled “Industrial Heterogeneous Catalysis”, that is designed to give students the appropriate practical research skills and theoretical knowledge to embark on a fu-ture career in industry or academia.
