This specialist course in polymer science is designed to train and expose you to the most modern aspects of polymer science. This course is excellent preparation for a career in industry or continued academic studies at the forefront of polymer science.
Laboratory training covers a range of polymer synthesis methods and analytical techniques including size-exclusion chromatography, viscosity analysis, and IR and NMR spectroscopy. Other modules cover polymer design in a wide variety of industries, how polymer science can support sustainability, radical polymerisation, and biopolymers ranging from proteins and DNA to innovative drug delivery systems.
You will also take part in a research training programme and complete your own research project, which will take up a third of your course. Some students work on projects with an industry partner.
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you're studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study. Use Sheffield's fee calculator or contact the Student Fees team to check.
