The part-time Analytical Sciences Postgraduate Diploma develops the experience and techniques required to be an independent practitioner of modern analytical science, with the skills required for research and by industry.
It delivers core teaching in advanced aspects of analytical chemistry, and enables you to explore areas of specialist knowledge through optional modules. You’ll apply a wide range of analytical techniques and gain invaluable research experience through an extended research project.
Having developed the fundamentals of the analytical sciences, these core techniques are applied to a disciplines including:
Spectroscopy
Archaeometry
Materials characterisation
Separation science and mass spectrometry
We also offer a one-year full-time version of the Analytical Sciences Postgraduate Diploma.

Course programme
The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.
The taught content of this programme is strongly research-led in line with university and faculty strategy, and academic staff who will teach on the programme are active researchers who publish in high quality, international scientific journals. The programme is designed to build from formal learning approaches to provide a good grounding in the topics, and to then progress to student–led study for individual or group projects.
Teaching and learning methods will include lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and the individual, substantial research project in a contemporary area of the field. As well as developing key knowledge and skills specific to the topics, the programme will enhance autonomous learning and develop transferable skills and knowledge in areas such as scientific communication, critical review and analytical thinking, complex problem solving and reflective practice.
This Postgraduate Diploma qualification comprises 120 credits. These are divided into modules, the smallest being 20 credits (20 credits are equivalent to 200 student learning hours).
The PG Dip consists of a core of compulsory modules (40 credits) to provide the appropriate framework and a range of option choices (60 credits) to develop specialist skills.
An individual research theme runs throughout the whole PG Dip and the dissertation offers an opportunity for research (20 credits). All modules are at level 7.
The core modules (40 credits) are dedicated to developing generic analytical key skills, specialism practice and project management experience. The specialist modules relating to the analytical instruments (60 credits) include lectures, workshops, hands-on laboratory and instrument sessions with relevant samples under the instruction of a team of interdisciplinary specialists in the area.
