Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
6172004/01 (for 2nd year. of study Bc. TZP)
The aim of the subject is to make students acquainted with fundamentals of classical and instrumental analysis. Students will be able to understand theoretical principals of analytical methods and apply them in practice.

Acquired knowledge:
The ability to understand the theoretical principles of analytical methods,
The ability to orient oneself in specialized literature,
The ability to apply these methods in practice.

6172004/02 (for USP, 1st year of study NMgr. TPE)
• To acquaint students with the basics of classical and instrumental analysis. Theoretically discussed analytical methods are selected so that listeners introduced analytical methods used in current practice.
• knowledge acquired to practice on lab reports.
• Provide the summary about common analytical practice in different industries
• Learning how to interpret analytical data from a user's perspective

Acquired knowledge
• Ability to understand the theoretical principles of analytical methods
• Ability to understand technical literature
• The ability to apply these methods in practice
