Take an interdisciplinary focus on international development, examining global issues through the lens of social justice and sustainability. You will benefit from innovative practice-based learning, and develop your professional skills in research, ethics, policy analysis and stakeholder management.

This course will give you a good broad knowledge of civil engineering, and gain first-hand industry experience. You will benefit from experiencing the culture in industry, making contacts, and operating as a graduate engineer.

You'll be given a strong grounding in the core disciplines of structures, water engineering and geotechnics. The second half of the course focuses on more specialised and advanced structural engineering modules.

History is an imaginative process; it requires us to appreciate things from points of view that are often very different. Covering topics ranging from the ancient world to the present and encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, you’ll analyse the processes and ideas that have shaped our world.

In our core undergraduate degree, you'll discover the underlying principles of materials science, and how these are applied across materials engineering situations. You can keep your course general or tailor your degree with optional materials modules. On the MEng degree you can choose to interact directly with industry via an industrial placement and industrial focussed projects or undertake an extended research project embedded in one of our leading research groups.

Get a strong grounding in the core disciplines of structures, water engineering and geotechnics. Then in the second half of the course you can focus on more specialised and advanced water engineering modules.

You will study in Sheffield for the first three years of your course learning about the fields that are essential to computer systems, including mathematics, control systems, embedded systems and programming. In your fourth year you will have the opportunity to put into practice what you’ve learnt by working for a year in an engineering placement before returning to Sheffield for your final year studying modules in specialist areas such as system design and security, intelligent systems.

In the first three years of your course, you’ll cover fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, intelligent system design, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems. In your fourth year you’ll put into practice what you’ve learnt on your industrial placement, before returning to Sheffield for your final year of study.

This course is about biologically inspired algorithms, their relationship to living biological intelligence and the nature of consciousness itself. Some modules overlap with the main computer science degree, so you get the same solid grounding in the fundamentals. You'll also have the chance to arrange a year in industry.

Learn about the fundamental concepts in mechatronic and robotic areas, including mathematics, intelligent system design, computing, control, electronics and embedded systems. Then go on to practical work that brings the concepts together using 3D CAD tools, 3D printing, laser cutters and more in the iForge makerspace.

This course is about biologically inspired algorithms, their relationship to living biological intelligence and the nature of consciousness itself. Some modules overlap with the main computer science degree, so you get the same solid grounding in the fundamentals. You'll get the chance to specialise in speech recognition, language processing or robotics.

Learn to approach abstract problems in a logical way with our BSc. Tailor your degree to your interests and explore fundamental questions that will challenge your understanding of the world.

Study the laws that shape the universe with our accredited course. Gain the fundamental knowledge and skills that every physicist needs for a successful career and spend most of your final year working on your own research project.

Study across the breadth of chemistry with our accredited course. Gain the fundamental knowledge that every chemist needs for a successful career and work in one of our leading research groups on a project.

Be inspired to help shape the future of healthcare technology on this flexible course. Beginning with a broad-based introduction to biomedical engineering, you'll learn about biology, physiology and anatomy, and begin to understand how traditional engineering principles can be applied to the human body.

This specialist course has been designed to prepare you for the growing demands of the healthcare sector and pharmaceutical industry. As well as essential chemistry topics, you'll study topics such as pharmacokinetics, toxicology and drug design, and spend most of your final year working on your own biological and medicinal chemistry research project.

You'll spend a year working in an engineering, medical or healthcare company. This real-world experience gives you a competitive advantage in the jobs market once you graduate.

Practise journalism for real with your own patch in the city. Each day will present you with a new challenge: you could be on location filming for a breaking TV news story, heading to the courtroom to hunt down details of a criminal prosecution, or interviewing a sports star for an Instagram reel.

Explore the basis of life at the molecular level, from cells, proteins and DNA, to how these molecules interact to sustain life. Spend a year on a work placement as part of your degree, putting what you've learnt into practice, and testing out a career you're considering.

Explore the processes which impact the wide range of ecosystems and environments on Earth. You can tailor your degree to suit your interests and focus on specialisms such as climate change, conservation, sustainability and environmental quality and technology.
