PURPOSE

To enable students to pursue careers in the pharmaceutical, environmental, biomedical and chemical fields. This is achieved by providing a thorough grounding in all aspects of separation science and mass spectrometry, together with a three-month project placement to ensure a head start into industry and a variety of career opportunities.

DESCRIPTION

Analytical science is the key to reliable analysis, which is essential to most areas of science. This programme has been designed to meet the current and future needs of chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
This unique hands-on course has been established, in recognition of the global shortage of skilled analytical scientists, with backing from many of the industry giants.

STRUCTURE OVERVIEW Core programme content Please see the modules below for further information.

FORMAT AND ASSESSMENT The assessment of each taught module (Modules I to IV) comprises a written examination paper and coursework (practical reports, essays, MCQs). On completion of each module, the appropriate three hour examination is taken in either January or April. Module V (Research Project) is judged on the basis of a literature review presented in June and a journal article presented in mid-August. The final examination takes place in early September, and ALL students are required to be available at this time for a poster presentation of their work. The provisional results of the MSc examination are published later that week. The award of the degree requires a successful performance in all five modules.
