About this course
The Pharmaceutical Analysis course gives you a strong background in the theory of analytical techniques. You learn how to apply these techniques to complex analytical problems.
You also have the chance to study recent trends in analytical science and the latest analytical techniques.
By choosing the Management Studies pathway, it will help to set your scientific knowledge in a vocational context. This makes it ideal if you want to work in a management position within the pharmaceutical and allied industries.
The independent MSc research project gives you the chance to study an area of interest in greater depth and gain valuable research skills. Our students often find this an excellent selling point when looking for a job or promotion.
You can choose to take it in industry or as collaborative research with other laboratories. For example, past projects have looked at:
determining caffeine and its metabolites in human serum samples using GC-MS;
the characterisation of sol-gel films as a potential matrix to design an optical biosensor device; and
synthesis and use of compounds as probes for biochemical reactions.
Recent graduates have gone on to a range of roles, including:
pharmaceutical analysts in large and SME chemical/pharmaceutical companies;
teaching;
PhD research;
sales and marketing; and
managerial.
A good honours degree in chemistry, pharmacy, life science, pharmaceutical science or a related subject such as pharmacology or biomedical science. Other degrees will be considered on an individual basis.
If you do not hold a degree in one of the relevant subjects listed above, significant relevant experience will be considered. Applicants with alternative qualifications will also need appropriate experience in analysis.
The Pharmaceutical Analysis MSc (ie not including Management Studies) provides exemption from Part A of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Mastership in Chemical Analysis, which is the statutory qualification for a public analyst.
