M.Sc. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry College in Punjab

Advanced Organic Chemistry including Heterocyclic Chemistry
In this subject, students will learn about heterocyclic compounds and their significance in contemporary organic chemistry, including how to synthesize the most prevalent heterocycles and learn about their chemical characteristics.

Analytical Techniques-I
Advanced training in analytical techniques is offered to students in this course. This will involve a thorough theoretical foundation, hands-on instruction, and a critical comprehension of the laboratory-based approaches they’ll use in their research projects. A thorough analysis of the precise analytical methods pertinent to their research topics will be covered in thissubject.

Spectral Analytical Technique
The introduction to contemporary spectroscopy techniques, including time-resolved laser approaches, will be covered in this course. Mass spectrometry, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman, fluorescence, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, time-resolved spectra including lifetime measurements, etc. will be covered in terms of theory and application to chemical research concerns.

Organic and Analytical Laboratory
The main goal of this subject is to teach students the fundamental ideas, concepts, and methods of contemporary analytical chemistry so they can develop an analytical mindset and the skills necessary to solve a variety of analytical problems quickly and quantitatively while emphasizing the value of accuracy and precision in analytical results.

Biochemistry
In this subject, students will learn how to recognize scientific problems, formulate hypotheses based on literature, plan experiments, and present the findings for the benefit of humanity.
