About Chemistry With Study Abroad Mchem in University of Sheffield

On the MChem Chemistry with Study Abroad course, you will spend your third year studying chemistry at a top university in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. As well as expanding your chemistry knowledge, the Study Abroad course offers an outstanding opportunity to explore the social life and culture of another English-speaking country.

When you return to Sheffield in your fourth year, you will further develop your research skills through advanced lecture topics, and in a research project where you will join a team that is working to make new discoveries in chemistry. The course is accredited by the Royal Society of Chemistry, which means that you can acquire a range of skills and knowledge that employers look for as you work independently, in teams and on a range of projects.

We cover a wide range of topics based on the latest concepts and findings in chemistry, and the skills and expertise that chemistry graduates can offer industry and society. These include:

• environmental and sustainable chemistry
• biological and medicinal chemistry
• advanced materials and nanotechnology
• astrochemistry
• computational chemistry

Your lectures in first and second year 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 specialist experts in later years. In addition, your personal tutor will also help you work out which skills you need to develop and support you as you build up your experience in time for graduation.

If you want to study chemistry, but don’t meet the entry requirements to go straight into the first year of this course, you may be able to apply for our Chemistry with a Foundation Year course.
