A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

Your career
This course is great preparation for a PhD or roles in the chemical industry that are focused on sustainability issues.
In academia, there’s demand for scientists who can tackle sustainability challenges and undertake large, innovative research programmes to address them.
In industry, there’s demand for chemists who can help make industrial processes more sustainable, and University of Sheffield chemistry graduates have secured roles at major companies including AstraZeneca, Croda, GSK, Lonza and Unilever.
We’re home to several multimillion pound research facilities that are used to characterise advanced materials and develop chemical and synthetic processes.
This is backed up by our expertise in catalysis, energy, materials and sustainability, solid state and inorganic synthetic chemistry.
Entry requirements
BSc (Hons) 2:1 or equivalent in chemistry or a chemistry-related subject.
