Enrolment guidelines This is a toolbox course where 80% of the seats are reserved for PhD students enrolled at the Faculty of SCIENCE at UCPH and 20% of the seats are reserved for PhD students from other Danish Universities/faculties (except CBS). Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at a Danish university (except CBS), you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to applicants on the waiting list. Requirements for signing up PhD students must contact the course coordinator before registration to ensure prerequisites are met. Aim and Content This toolbox PhD course aims to equip students without extensive analytical chemistry backgrounds with core analytical skills. It covers analytical methodologies such as sampling and sample preparation (liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, super-critical fluid extraction, pressurised liquid extraction), chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC), spectroscopic techniques (UV-VIS, ICP-MS), mass spectrometry (GC-MS, LC-MS), data processing, method validation, and quality assurance. Hands-on laboratory sessions form the core experience, emphasizing practical competencies and analytical problem-solving relevant to students' research fields. Learning outcomes Intended learning outcome for the students who complete the course: Knowledge: • Fundamental principles of analytical methodologies. • Chromatographic and spectroscopic analytical methods. • Qualitative and quantitative mass spectrometry analyses. Skills: • Practical application of analytical techniques. • Statistical and chemometric data interpretation. • Quality assurance in analytical processes. Competences: • Develop and validate analytical methods. • Critically evaluate analytical data. • Apply analytical chemistry to interdisciplinary research. Target Group PhD students from various scientific disciplines who require analytical chemistry skills in their research but have limited formal training in analytical methodologies. Recommended Academic Qualifications Basic university-level chemistry knowledge required. No prior analytical chemistry training necessary. Research Area Analytical Chemistry; Environmental Chemistry; Food Chemistry; Plant and Soil Chemistry, Biotechnology and other non-chemistry research areas Teaching and Learning Methods Lectures, theoretical and practical exercises, laboratory experiments, and an excursion to an analytical laboratory (e.g. Novozymes assays department). Type of Assessment Completion of laboratory exercises (40%), and oral exam of curriculum (60%). Literature Daniel C. Harris: Quantitative Chemical Analysis Ed. 11. Laboratory compendium and electronic resources via Absalon Course coordinator Professor Jan H Christensen (PLEN) Guest Lecturers Asger Geppel and other researchers from Novonesis during visit to Novonesis. Dates Mondays and Wednesday Start Date: 8 February 2027 End Date: 17 March 2027 + 7 April April Exam 12 or 13 April 2027 Expected frequency The course is recurrent annually in the same time period Course location Frederiksberg Campus Registration Deadline: 26 January 2027. Basic university-level chemistry knowledge required. No prior analytical chemistry training necessary. Course fee and participant fee PhD courses offered at the Faculty of SCIENCE have course fees corresponding to different participant types. In addition to the course fee, there might also be a participant fee. If the course has a participant fee, this will apply to all participants regardless of participant type - and in addition to the course fee. Course fee • Participant fee (all participants in add. to course fee): DKK 8.000 • PhD student enrolled at SCIENCE: DKK 0 • PhD student from Danish PhD school Open market: DKK 0 • PhD student from Danish PhD school not Open market: DKK 6.000 • PhD student from foreign university: DKK 6.000 • Master's student from Danish university: DKK 0 • Master's student from foreign university: DKK 6.000 • Non-PhD student employed at a university (e.g., postdocs): DKK 6.000 • Non-PhD student not employed at a university (e.g., from a private company): DKK 16.800 Cancellation policy - Cancellations made up to two weeks before the course starts are free of charge. - Cancellations made less than two weeks before the course starts will be charged a fee of DKK 3.000 - Participants with less than 80% attendance cannot pass the course and will be charged a fee of DKK 5.000 - No-show will result in a fee of DKK 5.000 - Participants who fail to hand in any mandatory exams or assignments cannot pass the course and will be charged a fee of DKK 5.000
