Registration for class and exam in Studentweb by February 1st.
PhD students in science at UiT go driectly to Studentweb to register for class and exam. Others need to apply, and be granted admisson prior to registering for class and exam.
Admission requirements
PhD students or holders of a Norwegian master´s degree of five years or 3+ 2 years (or equivalent) 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. PhD students are exempt from semester fee.
Students should have basic knowledge in organic and physical chemistry or physics.
PhD students at UiT The Arctic University of Norway register for the course through StudentWeb .
External applicants apply for admission through SøknadsWeb. Application code 9303.
All external applicants have to attach a confirmation of their status as a PhD student from their home institution. Students who hold a Master of Science degree, but are not yet enrolled as a PhD-student have to attach a copy of their master's degree diploma. These students are also required to pay the semester fee.

Course content
NMR has become a routine technique for chemists working in the fields of organic-, medicinal- and structural chemistry and biology, and new developments have made it possible to analyze more and more complex molecules and their interactions in biological systems. The course focuses on developing both theoretical and practical skills in using NMR as a tool for structure determination and elucidation as well as the characterization of biological macromolecules. In addition to recording and analyzing routine one-dimensional spectra of different nuclei, more advanced two- and three-dimensional techniques will be examined and applied in solving problems related to chemical structure and dynamic behavior.Objectives of the course
After passing the exam, you as a student will:
Knowledge:
- have a profound understanding of the physical principles of NMR
- understand the NMR instrument and how it is built
- know the underlying theory of the common NMR experiments
- know how different sample properties and instrument settings affect the NMR spectra
- understand the principles of bioNMR
Skills:
- know how to plan NMR experiments to solve scientific problems
- know how to operate the NMR instrument and optimize experiments
- be able to treat and interpret 1D and 2D data
General competence:
- have an overview of the NMR field
Assessment
Four hour written examination. Examination questions will be given in English, and may be answered either in English or Norwegian/Scandinavian language. Lettergrades (A-F).
Candidates who do not pass the exam may register for a continuation exam.
Coursework requirements:
One compulsory assignment.
