Programme structure
Theoretical curriculum
The theoretical curriculum consists of either 60 or 90 ECTS credits, depending on the extent of your Master's thesis. You plan your curriculum together with your supervisor, and it must include at least 30 ECTS credit of chemistry courses at 4000/5000 level.
Relevant courses:
- KJM5200 – Reaction Mechanisms in Organic Chemistry (Autumn)
- KJM5210 – Organometallic Chemistry (Autumn)
- KJM5220 – Heterocyclic Chemistry (Autumn)
- KJM5230 – Bioactive Molecules (Autumn)
- KJM5250 – Organic NMR Spectroscopy (Spring)
If you have previously not taken KJM3000 – Applied Spectroscopy and KJM3200 – Organic Chemistry II, or equivalent courses, KJM4XXX - Applied spectroscopy and KJM4XXX - Organic Chemistry II must be included in your theoretical curriculum.
You may choose the remaining courses from courses at the Department of Chemistry.
You may include up to 15 ECTS credits of special syllabus, planned in agreement with your supervisor. The special syllabus may include lecture series, literature, scientific articles and so on that are relevant to the theme of the Master's thesis. It may not include literature that you should have read as background for your thesis.
Master's thesis
You may choose between a short Master's thesis of 30 ECTS credits, or a long thesis of 60 ECTS credits. Within this programme option, it is common to find a supervisor and theme for the thesis in the research section Organic chemistry and Catalysis.
