WHAT WE OFFER
Master of Science In Analytical Chemistry
The Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry programme is designed to produce highly skilled graduates who can meet the growing demand for expertise in chemical analysis across research, industry, environmental monitoring and food safety sectors. The programme offering is aligned with the nation’s aspirations towards the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), integrating modern analytical instrumentation, advanced analytical approaches, and digital technologies that support precise and reliable chemical analysis. It incorporates the use of modern equipment, automated analytical systems and emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring tools that are increasingly applied in diagnosing and identifying chemical contaminants, pharmaceuticals, food toxins and environmental pollutants. Through comprehensive training in advanced analytical chemistry techniques and scientific problem-solving, the programme aims to strengthen analytical capability, innovation and research competency among graduates. These competencies contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 Quality Education, SDG 9 Industry Innovation and Infrastructure and SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production. The programme also supports Sarawak’s economic transformation agenda under the Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030 and the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE), which emphasize innovation, sustainable resource management and human capital development. Through collaboration between academic experts and industry practitioners, the programme provides students with strong theoretical knowledge, practical analytical skills and professional competencies required for leadership and lifelong learning in analytical chemistry. The programme is based on a trimester system: October, February and June in an academic year.
