Pre-Masters Programme in Science and Engineering (2-Terms), Leading to Master of Science in Chemistry and Sustainability Study Group - The University of Sheffield international College, UK

The Pre-Masters programme at the International College offers a path to a masters for international students at the University of Sheffield. This programme is designed in collaboration with the University and is delivered by Study Group.

Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering
The Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering will introduce you to carrying out lab experiments and analysing statistics for research projects. This programme leads to a number of postgraduate engineering and science degrees in the engineering and science faculties at the University.

Once you complete your Pre-Masters in Science and Engineering and achieve the required grades, you can enter into the postgraduate degree at the University of Sheffield.

Leading to: Chemistry and Sustainability MSc

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.
