KJM-MENA4010 – Experimental methods
Course content
The course is organized jointly by many sections of the Department of Chemistry. The course is organized as a matrix where each student/supervisor pair chooses 5 themes from a list of available subjects and one module gives 2 ECTS credits. The content focuses on understanding and application of the method(s). Examples: electrical measurements, light scattering, diffusion-NMR, NMR, rheologi, molecular modelling, LC, LC-MS, LC-NMR, ICP-MS, x-ray crystallography, powder diffraction, magnetic measurements, vibration-spectroscopy, XPS, cyclic voltammetry. The number and selection of subjects offered varies each semester. Module 30 about HES and laboratory safety is mandatory and should be taken by everyone in the first semester of the master studies. Module 30 should be completed before you start the experimental work on your master project.
Learning outcome
The student should be able to understand the principles, areas of use and limitations of the methods, and also to perform the experiments and use relevant computer programs.
Admission
You register for modules by filling out a web form which will be open for Spring 2018 from the end of week 51. Registration on this web form is until 22.01.2018 (extended). After that date you can register for available place on modules by sending email to expedition (ekspedisjonen@kjemi.uio.no) before the teaching starts in the periode 23.01.2018-01.02.2018. For the module 1 the last deadline for registration is one week before teaching of the module starts.
For admission to KJM-MENA4010 the applicants will be ranked as follows:
1. Students admitted to the Master's program in Chemistry or Materials, Energy and Nanotechnology (MENA), and students with relevant background in the Teacher education program.
2. Other Master program students with supervisors for The Deaprtment of Chemistry, UiO.
3. Other master program students at the Faculty of Science and Mathtematics, UiO
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
The student must be admitted to a masterprogram at The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UiO, or the five year teacher education program. The students are prioritized as written under "admission".
The mandatory module, module 30, has the following formal prerequisites, which, like the module itself, must be taken during the first semester of the master study:
