MSc Chemistry
This course is for graduates who want to use and enhance their chemistry skills to contribute to creating a sustainable world.
It will give you specialist knowledge of how different organisations, and society at large, can manufacture products in a more sustainable way, adopt green technologies, and use and produce energy more efficiently. You'll develop a real understanding of the impact that human activities have on the environment and how to mitigate these effects.
You'll complete a programme of specialist modules that cover environmental and green chemistry, key industrial processes and the latest sustainability technologies to minimise our energy consumption. There are optional modules on major topics in modern chemistry including nanochemistry, photochemistry and advanced materials.
As part of the course, you'll learn how to communicate sustainability issues to specialists and non-specialists, to inform them of the sustainability challenges that our planet is facing and to drive change for a sustainable world.
Researchers will teach you advanced research skills and you'll spend around one-third of your course working on your own research project, either individually or as a part of a team. You'll choose the topic and be based in one of our world-class research groups, developing skills and expertise that can help you stand out in the graduate job market.
The course includes contributions from the University of Sheffield’s Grantham Centre for Sustainable Futures, a leading interdisciplinary research centre.
