Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Applicants are expected to have a bachelor's degree with a major in the field of Chemistry and the equivalent of last 15 ECTS in Organic Chemistry and 12 ECTS in Biochemistry

Intended learning outcomes

The course gives principles in organic chemistry such as the connection between structure and reactivity of molecules. After passing the course the student will be able to:

describe the fundamental theory of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and stereochemistry
design and plan strategy of organic synthesis
describe theoretical and practical fundamentals in organic spectroscopy
explain how chemicals can be used with respect to sustainable development
use experimental and practical skills in organic synthesis methodology, including identification, analysis and risk assessments of organic compounds.

Course content

The course consists of fundamental theory of molecular structure, kinetics, mechanisms and stereochemistry. The fundamental classes of organic reactions. The course also includes the strategy of synthesis and synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. The theoretical and practical aspects of UV-spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy, NMR-spectroscopy and Masspectroscopy. The experimental work includes organic laboratory techniques, synthesis in several steps and analysis of organic compounds.

Teaching and working methods

The course includes lectures, seminars and laboratory work.
