Master’s Program- Analytical Chemistry
Chemistry plays a crucial role in innovation and development of sustainable production processes, novel high-tech materials, products in pharmaceutical industry and high-end polymers. Chemical Industry accounts for over half the value of the Indian companies and hence chemistry is vital to the economy.
Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry that focuses on the identification and quantification of chemical substances. The goal is to understand the composition of materials, determine the presence and concentration of substances, and characterize their properties. Analytical chemistry contributes to sustainability by providing the tools needed to develop greener processes, monitor waste and emissions, and ensure the safe use of resources. It also plays a role in recycling, waste management, and renewable energy. This branch of chemistry is vital for advancing technology, improving public health, protecting the environment, and ensuring the safety and quality of products. Its broad applications across various sectors make it a cornerstone of modern science and industry.
The two-year post graduate program in M.Sc. Analytical Chemistry will give an extensive exposure to working and applications in the following fields.
