The MSc program aims to prepare BSc graduates for employment and a career in analytical laboratories. This ranges from materials and forensic testing to environmental sampling and food quality control. The application of modern analysis techniques to real work problems as well as physical principles underlying such methods will be covered. In addition to core and elective lecture modules, the program also includes laboratory and project based practical courses, providing extensive hands-on experience. The program may also be used as a stepping stone to a research postgraduate degree.
