The Analytical Chemistry specialization offers a strong foundation in mass spectrometric analysis of biological and environmental samples. You will develop theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in sample preparation, analysis, separation, and detection techniques. The program also covers statistical methods for data analysis, equipping you for advanced roles in industry and academia. Taught by leading experts in proteomics, metabolomics, neurochemical analysis, environmental analysis, and imaging mass spectrometry, this program provides in-depth exposure to cutting-edge research. Faculty members actively push the boundaries of mass spectrometry while maintaining an interdisciplinary approach. Through collaborations with global universities and research institutes, you will engage with an international research community. You will gain expertise in modern analytical techniques and have the opportunity to work on a degree project in a top-tier research environment, either at the university, a research institute, or in the industry. A degree in analytical chemistry opens doors to numerous career opportunities, particularly research in chemistry at Uppsala region, home to leading research institutes and companies. This program is ideal for students with a chemistry background or relevant work experience. You should be highly motivated, eager to specialize in analytical chemistry, and ready to take responsibility for your academic success. The program leads to a Master of Science (120 credits) with Chemistry as the main field of study. A one-year option is also available, granting a Master of Science (60 credits).
