About Msc(res) Chemistry in University of Sheffield

Course description

For most of this one-year course, you will be working full-time as a chemistry researcher on your own research project. You’ll get to choose a topic that you're interested in, be assigned an academic supervisor who specialises in that area and work in their laboratory as part of a team of scientists. Some students' projects even lead to publications in academic journals.

We'll teach you advanced lab techniques and train you to use state-of-the-art chemistry equipment. Two lecture modules will help you further develop your chemistry expertise. Each one allows you to pick the topics that most interest you from a range of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry subjects. 

Your career

You will be an active, contributing member of your project supervisor’s research group, which makes this course great preparation for a PhD, or a research and development role in industry. Employers and PhD supervisors really value the experience students get from completing an extended project on an MSc(Res) degree.
