Course content

Looking for Masters Program that prepares you for a great career, either in industry or in academia? Look no further! The Stockholm University Masters Program in Analytical Chemistry teaches you the necessary skills needed to be ready for a career in industry or academia, the choice is yours.

You will learn skills such as GMP, validation, instrumental technology and method development, while at the same time be given access to the latest research conducted at the uni. Read all about it below.

The program is designed to cover all topics an analytical chemist will need during their career. During your studies you will learn all about:

• Separation - by gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC) as well as capillary electrophoresis (EC)
• Sample prep in different matrix - for air, liquids, solid adn biological samples, you will learn to handle them all
• Quality control - good practice for quantitative analysis, quality control, and method validation.
• Detection - in our labs you will have access to mass spectrometers and and optical detection. And yes, you will learn how to operate the instruments yourself.
• Data science and statistics - to make best use of the data collected.

What happens to our graduate students? We find them in labs in all kinds of industry - pharmaceutical, materials, cosmetics, regulatory laboratories - doping control, environmental monitoring, food safety, at instrument manufacturers as sales and application specialists, at their own companies. Some continue in academia and do a PhD studies. Feedback we get from students tells us that the extensive lab training they get, makes them confident in working in a lab environment, and are ready for the real world when they finish their degree.

We are committed to supporting your career path by arranging seminars and workshops with analytical chemists working in all of these fields.

Analytical chemistry research at the Department of Chemistry comprises development of analytical methods and techniques for qualitative and quantitative determination of organic compounds and biomolecules relevant to human health and the environment, as well as characterization of materials.

The research topics embrace the entire analytical chain, including subjects such as sampling techniques, sample preparation, separation science, mass spectrometry, ionization techniques, as well as detection methods and data processing tools.
