AS:MIT - MSc in Analytical Science
|
IntroductionWarwick Chemistry has had a hugely successful Masters programme on 'Instrumental and Analytical Methods in Biological and Environmental Analysis' (IAMBEC) for the past 12 years. More than 100 students have graduated from this course and gone on to careers in industry or to further study at PhD level. Following on from this success, the new 'Analytical Science: Methods and Instrumental Techniques' (AS:MIT) MSc course has set out to improve upon those past successes with the Warwick Centre for Analytical Science (WCAS) and Chemistry working together to recruit MSc students from diverse backgrounds in Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Statistics and Maths.
About AS:MITAS:MIT 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.

Projects are proposed by members of staff from the Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Life Sciences and Engineering Departments. Projects cover a wide range of topics, from instrument and technique development to application of analytical methods and procedures. The projects are carried out either at Warwick or at a company sponsoring Options with Special Permission
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.
