Academic Staff List Make an EnquiryThe MSc in Analytical Sciences is designed to provide graduates in science and related subjects with systematic training in the application of modern analytical methods. It aims to develop the necessary practical, interpretative analytical skills to apply a wide range of analytical techniques to key areas of application.
The course looks to develop a solid set of practical skills leading to specialist applications and employment opportunities as an analytical scientist in pharmaceutical, forensic, archaeological, and environmental analytical sciences. Students can benefit from specialist research laboratories and instrumentation in a research-focused environment. Students are expected to develop an array of interdisciplinary practical skills through specialist lectures, workshops, and hands-on laboratory and analytical experience.
This programme features a range of core modules covering areas including analytical data analysis, atomic and molecular analysis, bioanalytical methods and sensor technologies, chromatography and mass spectrometric methods, materials and structural analytical methods, and method development and validation.
Contact hours on this programme may vary depending on each individual module and the stage of study. Postgraduate level study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. For every hour spent in class, students are expected to spend at least two to three hours in independent study.
Course composition and delivery is different for each module and may include lectures, seminars, workshops, independent study, laboratory practicals, research, and one-to-one learning.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.
The way students will be assessed on this course will vary by module. It could include coursework, such as a dissertation or essay, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work, or presentations.
The University of Lincoln's policy on assessment feedback aims to ensure that academics will return in-course assessments to students promptly - usually within 15 working days of the submission date.
Research in the School of Chemistry includes the four relevant themes of forensic, analytical, biological, and evironmental chemistry, with collaboration and cross-disciplinary research occuring between these at all levels.
