Courses offered
At Sheffield we offer 4-year Chemistry courses that lead to Masters degrees (MChem and MPhys) as well as 3-year courses that lead to Bachelors degrees (BSc). MChem degrees are fully accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry and the MPhys by the Institute of Physics; the BSc degrees are recognised as a partial route to membership by these professional bodies. Our flexible course structure makes transfer between the MChem and BSc streams possible in the first two years of the course, subject to modules studied and grades obtained.
Academic Support
When you join the Department, you will be assigned a Personal Tutor who, for the duration of your undergraduate studies at Sheffield, will act as your guide and adviser on all matters, academic or personal. In addition, each year of the course has an academic Year Director, and each course has its own Course Director. together with the Departmental Director of Studies, all of these designated academic members of staff form a dedicated team that will support every effort you make to succeed in your studies.
In the fourth year you will have the opportunity to undertake original research under the direct supervision of a member of the academic staff with whom you will have day-to-day contact.
| Undergraduate degree courses in Chemistry |
|---|
| Chemistry (BSc) |
(UCAS code F100)
The BSc provides a solid foundation in all major areas of Chemistry, with insights into the latest developments. You will leave equipped to cope with new and emerging Industrial Processes and able to compete with graduates of other disciplines for non-chemical jobs. |
| Chemistry (MChem) |
(UCAS code F105)
This is our Flagship course that provides the core of all of our degree programmes. It builds on the foundation of the BSc and increases your exposure to the research environment. It is designed to train our future scientists, inventors, innovators, and discoverers.
|
| Chemistry with study in Industry (MChem) |
(UCAS code F106)
This course provides a solid foundation in Chemistry, enhanced by talks from visiting industrialists and a placement year in Industry. You will be able to apply your academic training in an industrial setting in the laboratories of one of the major players in UK manufacturing chemical industry.
|
| Chemistry with study in Japan (MChem) |
(UCAS code F104)
This course couples a solid foundation in Chemistry with an opportunity to study Japanese language and culture, with a third year spent studying in Japan.
|
| Chemistry with study in Europe (MChem) |
(UCAS code F107)
A solid basis of chemistry and language instruction leads to the exciting experience of studying chemistry at a major European University. This provides you with insights into European technology and trade as well as making you truly bilingual, both scientifically and socially.
|
| Chemistry with study in Australia (MChem/Aus) |
(UCAS code F108)
Three of the four years are at Sheffield, studying in the MChem stream. Spending your third year studying in a host University in Australia broadens your horizons, and provides an experience that broadens your mind and is valued by potential employers.
|
| Chemistry with study in America (MChem) |
(UCAS code F109)
The motivation behind this course mirrors that of the Australia course. The third year is spent at a University in the USA or Canada
|
| Biological Chemistry (MChem) |
(UCAS code C720)
This course exploits the interdisciplinary nature of Chemistry, Biology and Medicine and produces highly trained graduates of a kind greatly in demand in the pharmaceutical industry.
|
| Chemical Physics (MPhys or BSc) |
(UCAS codes F335 or F334)
These are interdisciplinary courses concerned with the experimental and theoretical study of the structure and properties of matter, enhanced by specialised research experience in either discipline in the fourth year.
|
| Chemistry with Mathematics (MChem or BSc) |
(UCAS codes F1G1 or FG11)
These courses suit candidates with a strong mathematical background. They focus on the quantitative areas of the subject and provide more scope to explore the interface between applied mathematics and Chemistry than is usually available in traditional BSc degrees. The MChem year involves a project that exploits both your chemical and your mathematical skills
