Analytical science is the key to reliable chemical 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. Small class sizes, lectures from the experts in their field and using state of the art liquid chromatographs and mass spectrometers will ensure that you receive first rate up-to date knowledge to advance your career for the next five years and beyond. Close links and regular speakers from industrial sponsors and international companies giving students insights and up-to-the-minute knowledge of the subject area. A hands-on component, which includes problem solving, represents a significant portion of this programme. The three-month industrial placements ensure a head start into industry and open up a variety of career opportunities.

Employment within the pharmaceutical industry at major international world-leading companies. PhD studies related to chemical analysis and bioanalysis; laboratory-based research careers such as cancer research where mass spectrometry is applied; other science-related careers where analytical instrumentation is used.
