MSc in Polymers for Advanced Technologies, University of Sheffield

Polymers for Advanced Technologies degree offered at University of Sheffield highlights how polymer chemistry overlaps with other areas of science, by focussing on concepts from physics that explain polymers' unique physical properties, and engineering principles to look at the effects that polymer microstructures have on polymer performance.;You’ll take part in a research training programme and work on your own research project, which will take up around a third of your course. You’ll choose your own topic within polymer science, be assigned an academic supervisor who specialises in your area and work in their laboratory as part of a team of scientists.;I want to find another Master Course;Graduates from this course apply their polymer chemistry expertise in lots of different industries – from oils, paints and coatings, to food, cleaning agents and cosmetics, to medical, agricultural and aerospace technologies. This course is also great preparation for a PhD and a career in chemistry research. It’s led by the experts behind the Polymer Centre – the UK's largest polymer research network within a single institution, made up of 48 research groups at the University of Sheffield, which has fostered many collaborations ;Teaching;We use a mixture of lectures, laboratory practicals, workshops and individual research projects.;Assessment;Assessment of taught modules is through examinations, assessed workshops and coursework. Assessment of the project is through a 15,000-word dissertation and viva.;Accreditation;Officially accredited/recognized by the Privy Council;Get more details;Visit official programme website
