Welcome to the School of Chemistry
The School of Chemistry at Nottingham has a reputation for excellence in both teaching and research. The School gained 95% student satisfaction in the most recent The National Student Survey (NSS) and the results in the 2008 RAE Exercise have propelled Chemistry at Nottingham into second place in the national rankings between Cambridge and Oxford. RAE2008 judged 85% of our research activity to be 'internationally excellent' or 'world leading'.
The School of Chemistry is committed to focusing its world class research expertise on the major challenges that affect us all – healthcare, energy and sustainability. As part of this commitment we have recently established a Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Chemistry.

- Published in the leading journal Nature Chemistry, recent work by David King, a PhD student in the research group led by Dr Steve Liddle, has shown that uranium can engage in chemical bonding that is surprisingly covalent. Remarkably, the findings have shown that uranium can behave in much the same way as its counterparts in the well-known transitional metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten.
