Master of Research - Analytical Chemistry

This course is an excellent choice for analytical professionals seeking to refresh their knowledge of analytical chemistry as well as recent graduates in a wide range of sciences allied to chemistry.

The department can provide students with the advanced knowledge, skills and attributes required to start or progress a career in Analytical Chemistry and its sub-disciplines, or act as a base for entry to PhD studies. This Masters is a good stepping stone for those in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Forensic Science and Physics.

This course enables students to develop and further their knowledge of chemical analysis, with a range of core modules. Students can expand their interests further by selecting module options and an analytical chemistry lead research project within one of the department's diverse range of internationally recognised research groups. Students will study chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectroscopic methods in drugs analysis. They will gain knowledge in advanced instrumentation and analysis covering special topics in metabonomics and metabolomics, high-throughput screening, drugs and pharmaceuticals in the environment, drugs in biological samples, and receptor activation.

The Chemistry team is comprised of academic and support staff that are subject experts in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry.
