MRes Analytical Chemistry
Course overview
This Master of Research (MRes) in Analytical Chemistry gives students the advanced knowledge to begin or move forward in a job in chemical analysis, or to prepare for a PhD. Students will complete a major research project in Analytical Chemistry and cover key subjects like chromatography, spectroscopy, and drug analysis using modern equipment. The course can be studied full-time in one year or part-time in two years at the Clifton Campus.
The course has been officially approved by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), which means it meets the high professional standards for industry. Expert staff teach the course, and this includes practical laboratory sessions so students get hands-on experience using modern equipment like NMR and HPLC in great facilities. Students are graded through different tasks, such as a research thesis, written exams, coursework, and presentations.
Entry requirements
Candidates are required to submit a personal statement in which they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other relevant information regarding their studies. An academic and/or employer reference is also required. Students have the option to upload their CV along with their applications to demonstrate their work experience and additional professional background.
Grade Requirements:
- Applicants need at least a second-class honours undergraduate degree (2.2) in a chemistry-related subject, such as Chemistry, Forensic Science, Pharmacology, or Physics.
- Alternatively, a different degree will be acceptable if the student has enough relevant employment experience in an analytical or scientific field, and those with relevant professional qualifications will also be considered for entry.
