The aims of this module are:

• To give students experience of literature searching in specific chemical or environmental science areas.
• To introduce students to the statistical evaluation of data in analytical science.
  To provide practical training in a number of advanced laboratory techniques relevant to chemical and analytical science.
• To offer students the opportunity to gain a range of transferable skills useful for personal and professional development.

The aim of this module is for students to gain an understanding of the methods and application of the principal analytical separation methods, including gas and liquid chromatography, and electrophoretic techniques.

The aim of this module is for the student to develop an understanding of the principles of molecular and elemental mass spectrometry, combined chromatography-mass spectrometry and and their applications in bioanalytical science and proteomics.

The aim of this module is for the student to understand the processes involved in the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs, the kinetic modelling of these processes, the test systems available and the application of this information to drug development.

The aims of this module are to further students knowledge of the processes involved in the design and development of drugs, through case studies of drug discovery and development, discovery and evolution of synthetic routes. Give students an appreciation of modern medicinal chemistry and molecular targets for drugs.

The aims of this module is for the student to:

• Gain an understanding of the methods, components, and applications of select analytical technologies for in vitro biochemical and in vivo physiological measurement.
• Compare and contrast the various sensing design elements
• Critically appraise biosensors for laboratory and clinical environments, including characteristics such as sensitivity, selectivity and biocompatibility.
