Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:
-
Mathematics R1 (or Mathematics S1 and S2) + R2
And in addition one of these:
- Physics (1+2)
- Chemistry (1+2)
- Biology (1+2)
- Information technology (1+2)
- Geosciences (1+2)
- Technology and theories of research (1+2)
The special admission requirements may also be covered by equivalent studies from Norwegian upper secondary school or by other equivalent studies (in Norwegian).
Recommended previous knowledge
KJM1100 – General chemistry (continued)/MENA1000 – Materials, energy and nanotechnology (continued), KJM1130 – Physical Chemistry I - Thermodynamics and Kinetics, and KJM2600 – Physical chemistry II - quantum chemistry and spectroscopy (continued) or similar courses.
Overlapping courses
- 9 credits overlap with KJ230
- 10 credits overlap with KJM4300 – Physical Chemistry II (discontinued)
Teaching
The course consists of 32 hours of lectures and 24 hours of group seminars, and each student must also give 9 presentations during the semester in a compulsory student lecture seminar. The presentations have to be approved. An approved lecture seminar is only valid the semester it is completed.
The first lecture/group seminar and the student lecture seminar are mandatory. If you are unable to join, the Expedition Office has to be informed in advance (phone 22 85 54 46, or e-mail ekspedisjonen@kjemi.uio.no). If you fail to register as an active student for the course in either of these ways, you will loose the access to the course for the given semester.
Examination
Oral examination (100%). All the student's presentations in the student lecture seminar have to be approved before he/she can take part in the final examination. An approved lecture seminar is only valid the semester it is completed.
