Boost your employability with the Analytical Chemistry MSc from Kingston University. Using our modern laboratories, you will gain the knowledge and key skills required for a career in analytical chemistry. Our links with industry provide a practical base for this course and helps us to ensure your studies are up to date and relevant to the working environment.Immerse yourself in good measurement and scientific practice, and the evaluation and interpretation of data.You'll gain extensive practical experience in new laboratories that reflect industry standards.Through an independent research project, you will be able to study an area of interest in greater depth. You will also benefit from the latest views from visiting speakers and industry visits from global researchers and pharmaceutical companies.At our Penrhyn Road campus, you will have access to a modern environment with the latest equipment, including:The £9.8 million Eadweard Muybridge building with state-of the art laboratories, including labs dedicated to analytical chemistryNew work areas and dedicated laboratories for researchSpecialist equipment, such as:gas and liquid chromatographyelectron microscopya range of spectrometers, including mass spectrometers, infrared spectrometers and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometersnuclear science equipmentthermal analysisx-ray diffractometerselectrochemical analysisComputing laboratories and a team of IT technicians to offer assistance
This module involves a research- or industry-based, in-depth research project that develops your ability to critically evaluate your own work and the work of others using analytical and laboratory skills. On successful completion of the module, you will be able to prepare a realistic and coherent project proposal, formulate aims and objectives, and effectively manage your time to achieve stated goals. You will critically evaluate current literature, conduct appropriate experiments safely while applying COSHH principles, generate and analyse reliable data using suitable statistical tests, and communicate project outcomes effectively through written reports as well as oral and visual presentations.
This module introduces the main spectroscopic techniques used in industry such as UV/Vis, FTIR, Mass Spectrometry, NMR, AES, AAS and X -Ray methods. The module later progresses to the more advanced designs and applications such as MS/MS, FTMS, TOF, sector and quadrupole mass analysers, 2D NMR, LCMS, MALDI, Atomic Fluorescence and ICPMS/AES.
This module introduces students to the principles and theory of separation science and its application in the laboratory including solvent extraction, high performance liquid chromatography, gas/liquid chromatography, centrifugation, gel and capillary electrophoresis and hyphenated techniques.
This module will introduce various specialised situations and techniques, including clinical, environmental, and materials science applications, in which analysts are required to provide analytical solutions. It will also illustrate the resolution of complex analytical problems through the application of an integrated analytical approach.
The module introduces students to the role of statistics and quality systems in modern analytical science. It demonstrates how a thorough understanding of statistical concepts, the analytical process and the quality systems and quality management paradigms collectively enable the consistent and reliable interpretation of analytical chemical data to support the economic requirements of a business organisation.
