Course Summary

COURSE OVERVIEW

Our analytical bioscience postgraduate course provides hands-on experience and training in a wide range of analysis techniques and instrumentation used in the molecular biosciences, biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors.

This degree in analytical bioscience is designed to allow flexibility in attendance requirements and offers the opportunity to complete a novel research project in one of our excellent research laboratories.

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

CAREERS AND EMPLOYABILITY

Graduates can pursue career paths in the health sector, academic research, toxicology and pharmaceuticals. Possible professions include:

analytical chemist

biomedical scientist

research scientist (life sciences)

toxicologist

clinical research associate

science writer

Modules

The optical spectroscopy course covers the physical basis of infrared, Raman, NIR, UV-Visible and fluorescence spectrophotometry, the design and mode of operation of the instruments and applications of the techniques are covered in some detail. It is supported by three laboratory exercises. Atomic spectrometry comprises the most powerful and widely used methods for the determination of elements. The course covers atomic absorption (flame and furnace), atomic emission from the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), elemental mass spectrometry, and x-ray fluorescence.
