Analytical Science - Environmental Analysis PGCert / PGDip / MSc

Robert Gordon University

The MSc Analytical Science elective route in ‘Environmental Analysis’ allows students to perform analysis on environment contaminants within various matrices. Students will have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and enhance core skills in advanced techniques such as GCMS, HPLC, LCMS and a range of spectroscopy instrumentation. The course offers hands-on learning with access to modern analytical equipment, complemented by a theoretical underpinning of the techniques, equipping graduates to meet the demands of a range of industries. Students can tailor their personal learning experience when studying MSc Analytical Science via elective routes. Lectures and tutorials cover a range of topics including environmental sampling, exposure routes, biological effects and current legislations. Students on this course will also benefit from practical experiments including analysis of herbicides by HPLC and analysis of rhodamine in sea water by FTIR.
