Module 1: Analytical Chemistry C, 6,5 hp
Instruction is in the form of lectures, exercises, and mandatory laboratory sessions and reports.
The theoretical part of the module includes advanced studies in the following areas:
- survey of analytical separation processes from a regulatory perspective,
- enhanced modern analytical separation theory,
- various liquid chromatography variants such as "reversed phase chromatography", "normal phase chromatography", hydrophilic interaction chromatography, ion pair chromatography and chiral separation of optical isomers
- modern chromatography matrices such as pH-stable phases, semiporous phases, monolites,
- different trends in separation processes: Green modern chromatography techniques,
- survey of empirical and mechanistic modelling of separation processes
- validation of chemical analysis methods,
- sample preparation of analysis components/pharmaceuticals from different sample matrices/preparation formats, and
- detection principles based on molecular spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Module 2: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 13 ECTS cr
Content treated:
- different types of respiration and fotosynthesis, including the related ATP synthesis and the thermodynamic link between redox, membrane transport, and phosphate transfer reactions,
- fermentation and substrate level phosphorylation, including reaction mecahnical and thermodynamic aspects,
- metabolic reaction pathways: gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway and the Calvin cycle, citric acid cycle, glyoxylate cycle, fatty acid metabolism, overview of the biosynthesis of amino acids with some examples of reactions and an overview of nucleotid metabolism,
- prokaryote and eukaryote gene expression and protein biosynthesis,
- thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of protein stability and folding
- legal framework for genetically modified micro organisms
- the chemical foundations of enzyme catalysis, and
- steady-state kinetics: Michaelis-Menten equation and kinetic description of reversible inhibition of enzynes.

Module 3, Chemistry Education (3 ECTS cr)
Module content:
- education research on students' understanding and conceptions of chemistry
- the scientific nature of chemistry
- analysis of textbooks and digital learning resources in education
- formative assessment of student performance.

Module 4a Practical placement 1 (when chemistry is the first subject studied)
Students have the opportunity to
- meet different groups of staff, for example, teaching teams, student welfare personnel and school management and partiipate in everyday activites,
- apply central regulations and guidelines and local pedagogical planning with consideration of equality and equal opportunities policies,
- apply subject-specific teaching theories and transform subject knowledge into teaching and reflect on the relation between theory and practice,
- use ICT in school,
- make observations,
- discuss and reflect on the profession and professional development,
- describe special education and student welfare efforts in school,
- acquire knowledge of legislation pertaining to confidentiality and obligation to notify irregularities.

Module 4b Practical placement 2 (when chemistry is the second subject)
Students engage in the following activites:
- use IT in school
- make classroom observations
- interpret and implement central steering documents and local pedagogical planning
- apply pedagogical and subject-specific teaching theories and transform subject knowledge into teaching material with consideration of students' different knowledge and interests
- consider the special education perspective
- practise their communicative skills in cooperation with different staff groups and pupils in school
- discuss the profession and their professional development and identify areas to develop in the third practical placement period.
