Analytical Chemistry

Semester 2 · 40206 · Bachelor in Agricultural, Food and Mountain Environmental Sciences · 6CP · DE


The aim of the course is to provide students with an adequate knowledge of general scientific principles and methods as well as specific knowledge related to the subjet.
The course teaches the basics of quali-quantitative analytical and instrumental chemistry. The student should accordingly be able to choose the correct and appropriate method depending on the problem to be solved. The student should also be able - thanks to the knowledge of analytical processes, sample preparation and the most essential analytical methods - to assess the application potential of modern analytical procedures.
