About AS: MIT

About AS:MIT

AS:MIT (Analytical Science: Methods and Instrumental Techniques) is delivered by internationally leading experts from the departments of Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Engineering and the Life Sciences at Warwick, as well as visiting lecturers from companies such as Syngenta and Astra-Zeneca. Students gain hands-on practical experience with a wide range of equipment relevant to each module, enabling graduates from the course to work in any modern laboratory since the skills they will acquire are readily transferable between sub-disciplines. Further information can be found in the course brochure.

Should I apply?

Analytical Science is central to Chemistry and many other sciences, and fundamental to many key industries. Advances in Analytical Science underpin research and development in Materials, Environmental, Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Clearly, any industrialised or developing country has a great need for skilled analytical scientists. The course is, therefore, targeted at students who will go on to work in areas such as the life sciences (including pharmaceutical and environmental science) and materials science, and we invite applications from students with backgrounds in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Statistics and Maths.
 
AS:MIT will equip students with a comprehensive understanding of analytical techniques and excellent practical skills. The MSc qualification provides an excellent foundation for a career in industry and further research at PhD level.
 

Entry Specification

Entry Specification and Funding

Applicants for the taught MSc course are usually expected to have at least a lower second class honours degree.

Overseas candidates will need to provide a certificate of English Language attainment (TOEFL or IELTS) where English is not their first language, plus degree transcripts. Please see the University's information on English Language Requirements
 

EPSRC-supported bursaries (currently a stipend of £10000 and full payment of fees) are available for UK citizens, or EU citizens that have been resident in the UK for the past 3 years, and have graduated, or expect to graduate, with a suitable first or upper second class BSc degree, subject to interview.

"This module is ideal for anyone who has a working knowledge of chromatography either on an academic or commercial level and wants to improve their understanding of the subject through interesting and informative lectures and laboratory practicals that are carried out in Warwick’s excellent laboratory facilities."

"The MSc provided me with a firm foundation upon which I am still continuously building upon. AS:MIT was valuable career preparation; I have gained vital hands on experience and skills in a range of analytical techniques routinely used in a variety of scientific fields."
"I joined the MSc course after a career in teaching because I wanted to broaden my knowledge of chemistry. The course gave me a thorough theoretical understanding of instrumental techniques, which was put into practice during the laboratory sessions, and enabled me to work as an analytical chemist after completing the MSc."
