Advanced Analytical Chemistry 2
About the course
PhD course. It is available as a singular course.
The course will give a deeper understanding of the following themes:
- Chromatography and detectors.
- Peptide synthesis and analysis.
- Instrumentation for mass spectrometry
- Practical use of analytical methods
The course will also give an introduction to metabolomics and proteomics.
Admission requirements
PhD students or holders of a Norwegian master´s degree of five years or 3+ 2 years in pharmacy or molecular sciences (or equivalent, such as chemistry, biochemistry or biotechnology) may be admitted. Valid documentation is a statement from your institution that you are a registered PhD student, or a Master´s Diploma with Diploma Supplement / English translation of the diploma.
Students should preferably have a good background in analytical chemistry.
