Advanced Study in Chemistry

Graduate study in chemistry at UofL is built around research, not just coursework. From your first year, you’ll work in a faculty lab on questions that matter, backed by mentorship, specialized facilities and funding for doctoral students. It all builds toward a thesis or dissertation that adds something new to the field.
