COURSE CURRICULUM

The Analytical Chemistry MSc program includes a range of specialised modules that develop both theoretical understanding and practical expertise in analytical science. Students begin by building essential competencies in Research Skills, which prepares them for scientific investigation and critical analysis. Instrumental Methods and the Analysis of Solids introduces techniques used to examine solid materials, while Advanced Separation Techniques focuses on methods such as chromatography for isolating and analysing complex mixtures. The module on NMR Spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry provides in-depth knowledge of key analytical tools used to identify chemical structures and compositions. Biochemical Methods expands learning into the analysis of biological systems, while Practical Skills for Analysts ensures hands-on experience with laboratory techniques and equipment commonly used in the industry. Molecular and Cellular Toxicology explores how chemicals affect biological systems at a cellular level, linking analytical chemistry to health and safety applications. The program culminates in a Research Project, where students apply their knowledge to investigate a specific topic in depth. Overall, the course offers a balanced combination of advanced analytical techniques, laboratory skills, and research experience, preparing graduates for professional roles in scientific, industrial, and regulatory environments.
