Analytical Chemistry, Msc in University of Aberdeen, UK

Analytical Chemistry, Msc in University of Aberdeen

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. The range of industries or institutes where these skills are asked for includes the pharmaceutical industry, environmental institutions, research institutes and also the oil & gas industry.

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, as our impact study on Arsenic in rice impressively shows (ranked 1st in Scotland at 2014 REF) .

Why Study Analytical Chemistry?

• The programme has been designed in collaboration with our industrial advisory board, ensuring that it is relevant and current.
• It contains theoretical and practical courses, formal teaching as well as application oriented research training, and professional skills such as project planning management exercises.
• We provide strong research-led teaching in all analytical subjects, with a focus on environmental and life sciences, relevant for industries and research or government institutes.
• Entry on to the programme is competitive and student numbers are kept on a smaller scale in order to provide the opportunity for students to closely integrate with academic staff.
• Our Alumni community feedback in to this course, for example through our mentoring system, where students are encouraged to contact mentors from industry.
• Many of our staff in the environment group (TESLA) or the natural products group (MBC) work closely with industry via research and consultancy. (KDME1)
• Though focusing on analytical topics, this degree programme will also give you the relevant chemistry knowledge and skills to perform in a variety of industrial processes.
• In the 2014 REF, our department was rated "1st in Scotland for Chemistry research impact".

Careers

Many graduates will find careers working in a pharmaceutical company or will work for an environmental agency as, or with, Analytical Chemists. This course gives strong fundamentals of techniques which are widely used in life sciences and in environmental monitoring in industry and academia and gives an appreciation of emerging new analytical techniques which will be used in those fields in the future. This opens up careers in lab-based studies which are not centred around the traditional chemical science laboratories.
