Location of University of Greenwich
This programme is aimed at pharmaceutical, chemical and pharmacy graduates who are keen to develop their knowledge, competence and skills in instrumental analysis with the aim of preparing them to take leading roles, as analysts, in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
In these industries a range of sophisticated and sensitive instrumental techniques are now available to support quality control of the manufacturing process; provide quality assurance data for the final processed products analytical and assist analytical problem solving of manufacturing and research processes. Scientist and technologists employed in these industries need a range of critical skills so as to be capable of:
* Obtaining representative samples and subsequent sample preparation
* Using analytical instruments selectively, appropriately and safely
* Data analysis and interpretation, data mining and statistical analysis
* Establishing and validating analytical protocols and standard operating procedures
* Instrumental troubleshooting
* Maintaining laboratory information management systems
The programme stresses both the underpinning advanced theory and practical use of analytical instrumentation. Much of the student's time will be devoted to practical classes and workshops dealing with data analysis and interpretation. Opportunities will be given to undertake open-ended investigations of a series of analytical problems – typical of the type encountered in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Throughout the programme the student will undertake a independent laboratory based project which will focus upon the development and validation of an analytical procedure under the guidance of a tutor.
Students on this programme will learn, from a group of leading experts with substantial experience of work and leadership in the pharmaceutical industry, the fundamentals and analytical applications of instrumental methods such as chromatographic techniques; spectroscopic techniques; thermal methods and analytical problem solving.
The overall emphasis of the programme is thus firmly focused on extending the practical skills of the student and developing their skills in data analysis and interpretation.
Career options
A variety of career opportunities are available to Master graduates in Instrumental Analysis. These include employment in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries as analysts and researchers and further graduate study at doctoral level.
Contents
Modules
* The design and implementation of instrumental analyses (15 credits)
* Spectroscopic and structural techniques (30 credits)
* Chromatographic techniques (15 credits)
