Chemistry MChem (Hons)

Sheffield is an exciting place to study chemistry. Two of our graduates and two former professors are Nobel Prize winners. Staff here are working on potentially world-changing projects, including catalytic clothing that purifies air, and sustainable energy and food production. When it comes to teaching, you can expect quality, consistency and lots of practical experience. All our courses are accredited by professional societies. You will spend at least one day every week in a laboratory. And there are weekly small-group tutorials so we can make sure you’re getting all the support you need. The four-year MChem is more advanced than a BSc and includes a major research project.Graduates work all over the world in the pharmaceutical industry, fine chemicals, materials and bioscience for companies such as Unilever and GlaxoSmithKline. Their problem-solving abilities and their high level of numeracy are also valued outside the sector, in financial services, IT, management and teaching.
