Course content

Develop and further your knowledge of pharmaceutical analysis on this accredited Masters course which includes a substantial research-led project.

You will study the complexities of organic synthesis, synthesis of biologically important molecules and NMR spectra, and develop concepts of analytical chemistry applied to the detection and analysis of drugs.

You'll be taught by our Chemistry team who are comprised of academic and support staff that are subject experts in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry. Our teaching and your satisfaction are very important to us and we have won awards and recognition for this aspect of our work. So feel assured you will have a supportive education here at NTU with our 'open door' policy.

Supporting you

As a postgraduate Chemistry student, you'll receive tailored support to help you develop the advanced laboratory skills needed for your research and future career.

When you choose your research project, you won’t be doing it alone. You'll work closely with your academic supervisor to identify the specific techniques and skills required for your project – whether that's analytical chemistry, synthesis, instrumentation, or something more specialised. From there, you’ll receive guidance and training to build those skills with confidence.

This personalised approach ensures you’re fully prepared to carry out your research to a high standard, while also developing practical expertise that’s highly valued in both academic and industrial settings.
