• present theoretical knowledge necessary for studies at the advanced level within analytical chemistry
• independently plan laboratory work and carry out risk assessment
• evaluate experiments by means of established methods
• keep laboratory record and write laboratory reports
• give an error estimate in obtained analytical results
• compare results from different methods

Content

Theoretical and practical aspects of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods . Overview of relevant statistical methods.

Instruction

Lectures and/or seminars, laboratory work. The laboratory sessions are compulsory.

Assessment

Written examination is organised at the end of the course and correspond to 2.5credits. The laboratory sessions including presentations correspond to 2.5 credits. The final grade is is a weighted sum of the results of the written examination and the laboratory sessions.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method.
