The four-year Chemistry MChem degree at the University of Sheffield is the best route if you’re planning your career in scientific research, a PhD and an academic career. Accredited by the Royal Society for Chemistry, this MChem builds from fundamentals to a final year spent mostly working on your own project, as part of a team of research scientists.
Sustainability modules are part of our core teaching, and you’ll learn about this right from the start. And just like our Chemistry BSc, the first two years will be about the concepts and skills you need to eventually unlock a host of advanced topics in your third year.
Your lectures are supported by small group tutorials, where you can delve deeper into complex topics. These small group teaching sessions are led by your personal tutor in first year, and specialists in years two and three, when you’ll explore chemistries environmental, computational, biological and medicinal – plus advanced materials and nanotechnology.
