Hi,
Here is some points about what is studying in Analytical Chemisty:
Analytical chemists examine the composition, structure and characteristics of a variety of materials by examining and identifying the various elements or compounds that make up the substances, as well as the processes and changes that they undergo. They are absolutely crucial to the pharmaceutical industry because pharmaceutical companies need to know the identity of compounds that they hope to turn into drugs. They study the relationships and interactions between the parts of compounds.
An analytical chemist also aims to develop new methods of analysis. As well as investigating which substances are present, they establish their quantities; they conduct experiments in a laboratory and write reports on their findings. Analytical chemists work closely with a team of chemists who are all specialists in their own fields.
Quality control will continue to be an important issue in chemical manufacturing and other industries that use chemicals in their manufacturing processes. Chemists will also be needed to develop and improve the technologies and processes used to produce chemicals for all purposes and to identify the presence and concentration of chemical pollutants in air, water and soil.
Environmental research will offer many new opportunities for chemists and materials scientists. To satisfy public concerns and to comply with government regulations, the chemical industry will continue to invest a large amount of money each year in technology which reduces pollution and cleans up existing waste sites.
Chemists are also needed to find ways to reduce the use of energy and to discover new sources of energy.

Sandhya’s Answer
Analytical chemistry is the science of obtaining, processing, and communicating information about the composition and structure of matter. In other words, it is the art and science of determining what matter is and how much of it exists.
Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter. In practice separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with another method. Separation isolates analytes. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration.
Eligibility and course duration (M.Sc Analytical Chemistry)
A degree in chemistry, biochemistry or any closely related field from a recognized university. Selections are on the basis of entrance tests. Minimum 50% in graduation or as required, depending upon colleges.
