| Master’s Programme in Organic Synthesis/Medicinal Chemistry , 120 hp | ||||||||||||||||
| Aim/Vision
The master program in organic synthesis / medicinal chemistry aims to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for the profession or for postgraduate studies in the field. The program meets both national and international needs in organic synthesis / medicinal chemistry, and needs from universities, industry and society in general. The training is based on a related bachelor program and intends to give a deeper understanding in the field and a foundation for postgraduate studies in organic synthesis / medicinal chemistry. . The programme prepares for This will mean that

| Programme goals
Mathematical, scientifical and technical knowledge ans reasoning Students from the program in organic synthesis / medicinal chemistry will demonstrate knowledge and understanding in the field of organic synthesis chemistry / medicinal chemistry including a broad knowledge of the area as well as considerable in-depth knowledge in certain parts of the area. The graduates will also have comprehensive knowledge of current research in the field. The graduates from the master programme in organic synthesis/madicinal chemistry shall on an advanced level possess
Personal and professional skills and attributes Students graduated from the master programme in Organic Synthesis/Medicinal Chemistry have achieved the individual and professional skills and attitudes which are demanded for being able to critically and systematically integrate knowledge and to analyze, judge and handle complex issues even with limited information . The graduates shall also be able to assume responsibility for their own work or post graduate studies with respect to work ethics, responsibility and reliability. Students from the programme shall be able to make relevant judgements regarding scientifical, social and ethical aspects of their professional areas. Interpersonal skills: Teamwork and communication Students graduated from the master programme in Organic Synthesis/Medicinal Chemistry shall be able to collaborate with other people. This requires the ability of active participation in a project with clear roles and well defined responsibilities and tasks. The graduates can also initiate, plan, lead and evaluate large projects. The students shall have good skills in written and oral communication. The students can present information, problems and solutions in a structured way with relevant techniques both written and orally, in different languages (preferably Swedish and English) to different target groups. Conceiving, desiging, implementing and operating scientific projects in the enterprise and social context Students graduated from the master programme in Organic Synthesis/Medicinal Chemistry shall have knowledge about the natural scientist and the natural science in the society both from a historical and a contemporary perspective. The graduates shall also have an understanding of social and economic conditions in the related area and related research area. They shall be competent in initiating, working in and leading advanced development projects with accepted methods. The students shall also have skills in planning, implementing and present their work. The graduates have a comprehension of how research results can be transformed into industrial use and commercial business. | ||||||||||||||||

| Programme Organisation
The programme comprises four semesters and leads to a Master of Science in Chemsitry. The education is given in English. The range of courses is found in the curriculum. Normally the content of the programme is presented at lectures, laboratory work and seminars. Some extensive projects or assignments are parts of the courses and will be reported oraly and/or in writing. Laboratory work and seminars are compulsory. The Master thesis is performed during the second year and comprises at least 30 högskolepoäng (equivalent to ECTS credits). . | ||||||||||||||||
| Programme Contents
The master's programmme consists primarily of courses in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry at advanced level. These are complemented with other courses at advanced level, such as protein science, and some broadening of courses, such as biomolecular design, at basic level. Several elective courses give the student freedom to design his own Master's programme and there is scope to supplement courses in organic chemistry with courses from other disciplines such as mathematics, biology, physics, medicine or economics. The program ends with a thesis that can be performed at a company or university. The thesis may be a good introduction to further studies at postgraduate level. | ||||||||||||||||
| Thesis Work
The thesis should be based on the high quality scientific content and carried out in close contact with the research groups involved in the programme and in the area of the profile chosen by the students. | ||||||||||||||||
| Degree Requirements
The programme is designed to give the Master's Degree "Naturvetenskaplig masterexamen i kemi" translated to "Master of Science with a major in Chemistry". The requirements are the following:
