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 credits of chemistry courses at 4000/5000 level.
Relevant courses:
- KJM5240 – Mass Spectrometry (Spring)
- KJM5700 – Environmental Chemistry (Autumn)
- GEO5900 – Chemical Processes in Soil and Ground Water (Spring)
Relevant courses for Radiochemistry:
- KJM3900 – Radioactivity (Autumn)
- KJM5903 – Radiation Protection (Autumn)
- KJM5240 – Mass Spectrometry (Vår)
- KJM5912 – Radiochemistry (Autumn)
- KJM5922 – Radiochemical Measurement Techniques (Spring)
- KJM5700 – Environmental Chemistry (Autumn)
If you have not previously taken the course KJM3400 – Analytical Chemistry II - Separation Methods, BIOSxxxx - Biogeokjemmi eller GEO3100 – Environmental Geology, or an equivalent, one of the courses KJM4400 - Analytical Chemistry II, BIOS4xxx - Biogeochemistry or GEO41xx - Environmental Geology must be included in the 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. In this programme option, it is common to find a supervisor and theme for the thsis in Connection to the research section Environmental Science.
