Introduction Analytical Chemists work in pharmaceutical industry, fine chemicals, biotechnology, environmental organisations, research institutes ,oil & gas industry, newer energies, food, manufactured goods, life sciences, innovation areas and more globally. The MSc programme in Analytical Chemistry will build on your undergraduate chemistry experience and develop specialist skills applicable to analytical, bioanalytical and environmental topics. This programme focuses on specialisation in advanced modern analytical methodology. NMR and elemental and molecular mass spectrometry allows the identification and quantification of small biomolecules in complex mixtures at trace level. Trace analysis of toxic elements such as arsenic or mercury is not only needed for the determination of environmental contamination, but also applies to food security.
