Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation and Robotics MSc

University of Liverpool

Digital chemistry is the use of AI, big data, and robotics to transform the way we design and make new molecules and materials. Liverpool sits at the forefront of this revolution, from making groundbreaking findings in computational materials discovery to building our own suite of robotic chemists. Our Digital Chemistry: AI, Machine Learning, Automation, and Robotics MSc is a cross-disciplinary programme that makes you part of that transformation, providing you with expertise in machine learning, automation, and digitalisation. We teach you these techniques from the ground-up, from Python and Arduino to cheminformatics and applied robotics, empowering you to directly tackle real-world chemistry problems, from climate change to drug discovery. You will develop critical digital skills and apply them across a range of chemical contexts, including pure materials, pharmaceuticals, and formulated materials. Why choose us State-of-the-art facilities – Gain exclusive access to the £81million Materials Innovation Factory, a cutting-edge hub for AI-driven chemistry, automation, and robotics World-leading teaching centres – study the fundamentals of automation and robotics for chemistry in our Central Teaching Laboratory, where outstanding teaching facilities bring hands-on learning to life World-class expertise – your final research project will be hosted in academic and industry labs that are pioneering some of the world’s first fully autonomous laboratories, where AI and robotics collaborate to innovate new molecules Industry connections – build your professional network through partnerships made in the heart of the UK’s chemicals industry Authentic assessment – demonstrate what you have learnt through your ability to solve real problems in chemistry, not just pass an exam. This MSc is also available with the alternative title Chemistry with AI MSc for September 2026 entry. You have the option to graduate with either of these two MSc titles.
