This course provides students with advanced training in analytical techniques. This will include a detailed theoretical background, practical training and a critical understanding of the laboratory-based techniques they will apply during their research projects. The course will deliver an in-depth examination of the specific analytical techniques relevant to their research projects.
Theory exam on lecture material
Learning outcomes 1
Oral presentation (30 minutes) to class outlining their proposed analytical campaign and justifying the approach to be taken and instrumentation to be used in terms of the research objectives
Learning outcomes 2, 3, 4
Present, in an appropriate form, a data set obtained in the lab exercises on an instrument to be used in the research project, and demonstrate data quality and limitations using appropriate statistical techniques
Learning outcomes 5
Present a written justification and description of the analytical techniques to be employed in the research project, suitable for publication in a scientific journal
Learning outcomes 6
A total of 30 hours of lectures and 35 hours of practicals. Students are expected to spend an additional 60 hours on work related to practicals and to prepare a report for the chosen analytical technique.
An appropriate reading list will be supplied during the course
