Etter fullført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert som kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

Kunnskap

Studenten

• har avansert kunnskap om et avgrenset området innenfor kroppsøving og idrettsfag
• har avansert kunnskap om forskningsmetode og -etikk

Ferdigheter

Studenten

• kan planlegge og gjennomføre et selvstendig forskningsprosjekt
• kan skrive en lengre vitenskapelig fagtekst

Generell kompetanse

Studenten

• kan reflektere over masterprosjektets relevans for fremtidig utøvelse av lærerrollen

The course builds on KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry, KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, and KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I. It is recommended that students taking the course have passed the exam in KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student is capable of explaining:

• theoretical and practical principles for the use of chromatographic techniques, with the emphasis on gas chromatography and liquid chromatography
• the theory and functioning of mass spectrometry, basic interpretation of mass spectra
• general sampling principles and practical techniques for sampling gas, liquid and solids
• important sample preparation techniques for chromatographic analysis, including extraction, preparative chromatography and concentration techniques
• principles for method development, optimization and method validation for chromatography
• principles for quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory
• the importance of planning and preparing laboratory work.
• data processing and analysis of large data sets in analytical chemistry

Skills

The student is capable of:

• performing quantitative analyses in accordance with standardized operating procedures
• calibrating and adjusting common measurement instruments
• choosing the appropriate laboratory equipment and using it correctly
• making their own assessment in the choice of sample preparation and analysis techniques
• preparing calibration standards and generating calibration curves that meet the necessary quality requirements
• reading scientific articles and searching in journal databases to find relevant literature in connection with method development and implementation
• using statistical methods and relevant software for data extraction, data analysis and interpretation and quality assurance in analytical chemistry
• determining the identity of unknown analytes based on chromatographic and mass spectrometry analyses

General competence

The student:

• has insight into the application and limitations of common chromatographic and mass spectrometry analysis techniques
• has insight into requirements for good laboratory practice
• has knowledge of the principles for developing new analysis methods, including sampling, sample preparation, qualitative and quantitative analysis
• has knowledge of how accuracy and precision in measurement results are affected by sources of error and uncertainty in instrumentation, procedures and work techniques
• has a background for understanding developments and future perspectives in the field
• is capable of communicating their own results orally and in writing

Masteroppgaven kan skrives individuelt eller i gruppe på inntil tre studenter. Ved individuell innlevering skal omfanget av oppgaven normalt skal være mellom 25000 og 32000 ord. Dersom to studenter skriver sammen, skal omfanget normalt være mellom 30000 og 37500 ord, og når tre studenter skriver sammen, skal omfanget normalt være mellom 35000 og 42500 ord.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Det er ikke adgang til å få vurdert en ny masteroppgave i samme studieprogram når studenten tidligere har fått vurdert sin oppgave med bestått resultat. Dersom masteroppgaven vurderes til ikke bestått, kan studenten(e) levere revidert oppgave én gang, jf. § 5-6 i forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet. I særskilte tilfeller kan det etter søknad til studieadministrasjonen vurderes om oppgaver skrevet i gruppe skal kunne leveres individuelt.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

• 6-day compulsory laboratory course with 2 written assignments (groups of 2-4 students, 10-20 pages per assignment)
• 1-day compulsory workshop in bioanalytical metods (4 h laboratory work, groups of 10-15 students, no written assignments).
• Some exercise sessions related to the laboratory course will be compulsory. These sessions will be announced separately
• Before a laboratory exercise starts, a tutorial must be completed where the students groups submit a written plan on how to carry out the exercise.
• A written collaboration assignment in the form of a case study (groups of 2-4 students). Oral presentation of the solution to the case assignment (6-8 hours).

Gradert skala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått.

Intern og ekstern sensor.

Studentene skal alene eller i gruppe på inntil tre studenter planlegge, gjennomføre og rapportere et avgrenset forskningsarbeid. Hver student / studentgruppe får tildelt en veileder som vil følge opp arbeidet med masteroppgaven.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
