About the course

The BSc Chemistry with an Industrial Placement Year gives you a great opportunity to build up your CV. You will spend 12 months between your second and third years on a work placement, paying reduced fees for the year you are away from campus.

　　The BSc Chemistry with an Industrial Placement Year course gives you a great opportunity to build experience and confidence in applying your chemistry skills in a science-focused business environment.

　　You will spend 12 months between your second and third years on a work placement, paying reduced fees for the year you are away from campus. You will have the opportunity to earn a salary during your placement, and students are often offered a graduate level job with their employer, to start as soon as they have finished their degree.

　　Previous University of Sheffield chemistry students have worked at businesses such as GSK, Unilever, and even companies overseas. Unlike our MChem Chemistry with an Industrial Placement Year course, this BSc course gives you the freedom to try a role outside the lab, such as communications, market research or business development.
