Overview

Analytical chemistry is of fundamental importance to the social and economic well-being of our society. It makes a major contribution to quality and process control, product screening, health and safety, pollution monitoring and waste management in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals and related sectors. Analytical chemists also play an important role in a variety of other sectors, including health and forensic science.

You'll learn how to:

interpret analytical results and appreciate their limitations
interpret atomic, infrared, UV-VIS, NMR, MS, EPR and X-ray diffraction spectra
understand and use thermal methods of analysis
select and perform analyses using appropriate classical and separation methods.

Expect a heavy practical bias, and by the end of the course you'll have to show that you are competent in selecting and using a range of analytical techniques.

Career opportunities

Major employers running laboratories generally employ analytical chemists and so there is a very wide range of career options available, including chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical science, forensic science and the health sector, or progression into teaching or higher degree-level study.

Programme Structure

Industrial experience

On each master's degree you'll complete an industrially-related project. This, along with the involvement of industrialists, practitioners and academics in the delivery of these courses, ensures that they are relevant to the demands of the process manufacturing industries.

Intermediate awards

Our master's degrees can lead to the award of a postgraduate certificate at Stage 1 (60 credits - 3 modules), a postgraduate diploma at Stage 2 (120 credits - 6 modules) or, on completion of a research project, the MSc.

Block release study

Our master's degrees are available on a block-release basis: you'll study for one week between 9.00am and 6.00pm with follow-up days in the next four weeks together with accompanying assignment work.

Modules

Advanced Analytical Applications

You will cover the major modern advanced analytical techniques of spectroscopy, spectrometry, thermal analysis and hyphenated separation techniques. This module also provides the fundamental theoretical basis of thermal methods, UV, IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as the spectrometric techniques MS, X-Ray Diffraction and EDS. The interpretation of spectra and the skills required to deduce the identity of compounds using spectroscopic and spectrometric analysis follows. Finally you will be shown how to apply these techniques.

Analytical Laboratory

This module is designed to develop essential practical analytical skills within a task-oriented structure. Emphasis is placed upon developing problem solving skills and initiative. You´ll select practical tasks from a suite of experiments. These experiments are selected to give you a broad introduction to modern methods of analysis performed in academic and industrial settings.
