Analytical chemistry plays a crucial role in many areas of science and society. Chemical compounds in a variety of materials and environments must be identified and quantified for, for example:

• the development of new pharmaceuticals
• the unravelling of complex biological systems
• the design of new sustainable materials and chemical processes

Analytical chemistry provides the methods and techniques that make this possible. Its impact is not restricted to chemistry alone: progress in medicine, biology, environmental and material sciences is strongly dependent on the availability of new analytical tools as well.

Is Analytical Sciences in Amsterdam the track for me?

It is, if you:

• have a solid background in chemistry
• are eager to expand your knowledge and skills in the area of analytical chemistry
• want the advantages of a small-scale programme, where students and staff all know each other.
