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?credits of chemistry courses at 4000/5000 level.

Relevant courses:

• KJM5100 ¨C Synthesis of Inorganic Materials?(Autumn)
• KJM5120 ¨C Defect Chemistry and Reactions?(Spring)
• KJM-MENA5110 ¨C Inorganic Structural Chemistry?(Spring)
• MENA5020 ¨C Nanochemistry?(Autumn)

If you have previously not?taken the course?KJM3121 ¨C Inorganic Materials Chemistry,?MENA2000 ¨C Fundamental structure of solid materials, or?MENA3001 ¨C Functional Materials?or equivalent,?one of the?courses?KJM4121 ¨C Inorganic Materials Chemistry?or?MENA3001 ¨C Functional Materials?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. In this?programme option, it is common to find a supervisor and theme for the thesis in onnection to the research sections Inorganic materials chemistry,?Electrochemistry and Catalysis.
