Chemistry (MChem)
- UCAS Code: F105
- Type of course: MChem
- Duration: 4 years
- Entry requirements: Grades BBB
- A minimum of GCSE Maths Grade B is required for this course
This 4-year MChem course is designed to train our future scientists, inventors, innovators, and discoverers. As one of these, you will become "a research chemistry graduate", and may well go on to spend a further 3 or more years studying for a doctorate.
The course is designed to provide a solid foundation in all major areas of Chemistry and also to bring you to the forefront of many of the latest developments in the subject. As a result you, as one of our graduates, will find yourself in an excellent position to cope with Industrial Processes that are likely to become important over the next few decades and, in addition, to take advantage of the professional status that the MChem confers. You will gain the confidence to respond confidently to demands made in non-chemical fields in competition with the best graduates from other disciplines, and also the possibility to develop your strengths yet further by embarking on doctoral and post-doctoral studies.
Course structure
In the first year, Chemistry is taken as the principle subject (three modules of the six required), and occupies half of the working week, typically four or five lectures, eight hours of laboratory instruction, computer-aided learning and problem solving, and a weekly small-group tutorial.
If you do not have A-Level Mathematics, you will be required to take our special mathematics course, Maths for Chemists. The remaining three modules of the six that are taken in year 1 are termed unrestricted and you are free to choose any you wish from other disciplines as long as they do not clash with the Chemistry timetable. The Sheffield Guide to Registration for Undergraduate Students that is sent to all first year entrants will lists all of the options available to you.
In subsequent years, all of your studies will consist exclusively of Chemistry modules.
Teaching & Learning
Teaching is by lectures and tutorials, problem classes, laboratory practicals and computer-aided learning, such as WebCT with online course support and assessment.
