Hands-on masterclass by the University of Reading's Chemistry Department on infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and NMR for students.
The University of Reading's Chemistry Department is running its Spectroscopy Masterclass on 3 and 5 November, held at Chemistry, Whiteknights campus. It's a hands-on learning experience designed to sharpen a student's understanding of modern analytical chemistry, and the whole thing is run by the department itself.
Over the sessions, you get stuck into the essential spectroscopic techniques that underpin the field. That means infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and both 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). You'll be working in the university's teaching laboratories with the actual instrumentation and genuine data sets, rather than just reading about it in a textbook. The programme is aimed at students interested in the chemical sciences and aligns closely with the analytical techniques section of the A-level Chemistry specification, so it's a good fit if you're working through that syllabus.
