Analytical Science for Industry
Key Information
Overview

The MSc Analytical Science for Industry programme at Keele
provides the opportunity for you to acquire postgraduate level
research and employability skills within the analytical sciences
sector, in an industrial context, hence providing a strong educational
background for a research career in either academia or industry.
As a student on the programme, you will benefit from our research
expertise and our links with industries that provide the foundation
for placement opportunities. All students on this MSc will undertake
a 30 week placement with an industrial context, either in Keele
University’s laboratories or at the industrial partner’s premises,
which will ultimately boost your employability skills. The focus
of the programme is learning through research, and the substantial
hands on research training with industrial partnership makes the
MSc Analytical Science for Industry a particularly distinctive course
in the UK Higher Education sector.
Subject specific knowledge is structured from two perspectives:
Firstly, the breadth and substance of analytical science and its
applications span various disciplines (chemistry, biochemistry,
environmental science, forensic science, for example) and encompass
the knowledge and understanding of numerous analytical techniques
(chromatography, spectroscopy, imaging, diffraction, for example).
Secondly, the extended research training, which is industrially focused,
requires the knowledge and broad understanding of key concepts
in the industrial sector, as well as technical knowledge.
