Course Summary

COURSE OVERVIEW

Our analytical chemistry postgraduate course delivers comprehensive training in analytical chemistry, with a specialist module in clinical analysis.

This course offers the opportunity to complete an analytical chemistry research project in our laboratories, with constant contact between staff and students which creates opportunities for you to comment on, and take responsibility for, the direction of your studies. Alternatively the project may be completed at your place of work if appropriate.

The course will develop your knowledge and understanding of key areas of analytical science and its practical applications, advance your understanding of recent advances in the field and equip you with the techniques to formulate a research or method development plan, and carry out the appropriate literature and data searches. You will also learn how to carry out chemical manipulations, operate advanced analytical equipment, and work safely and efficiently in a laboratory.

We offer this course as a Master’s and a Postgraduate Diploma. For the Diploma, you study fewer modules and do not complete a dissertation.

Modules

This course covers the basic theories of NMR spectroscopy, including the effects of radio frequency pulses, relaxation, multipulse and heteronuclear experiments. 1D and 2D NMR methods are applied to solving chemical problems such as structure and conformation. Quantification by NMR spectroscopy and the coupling of NMR to HPLC systems is also discussed.
