Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and materials physics and analytical chemistry.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The teaching is realized mainly via individual consultations. In the case of the selected instrumental analytical methods the teaching is also carried directly at the instrument with assistance of the operator of instrument.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The gained knowledge will be verified via oral examination and via prepared project of measured and evaluated data at the selected analytical equipment.
