Biological and Medicinal Chemistry courses 


Integrated masters

Our four-year MChem options come with a final year of research training, where you'll work in the lab with a team of professional scientists on an unanswered question in chemistry. They're the best route for students who are thinking about a career in scientific research.

Industrial placement years

All of our chemistry courses offer the option of a one-year industrial work placement, which you can opt to do after you start your degree. You can also apply directly to our MChem Chemistry with an Industrial Placement Year course through UCAS.

Study abroad

On all our chemistry courses, you can apply to spend a year studying abroad once you arrive in Sheffield.
