Summary
The course is focused on broadening and deepening the knowledge of modern instrumental laboratory techniques, including gaining practical skills. The aim of the course is to provide students with a solid and sufficiently broad theoretical and methodological basis for methods of instrumental analysis, both inorganic and organic. The main focus of the lessons is the interpretation of the theoretical foundations of instrumental methods of analysis. Practical exercises emphasize students' independent approach to solving analytical problems of selected instrumental methods.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Knowledge acquired after the completion of the course: Acquiring basic knowledge of instrumental analytical methods and enhancing students' readiness to solve analytic problems by selected instrumental methods.Skills demonstrated at the end of the course: The student will gain the competence to work in an analytical laboratory with basic instrumental equipment.
