Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of this course is to describe moden analytical chemistry methods used by the academic world and the industry to answer basic and practical challenges.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This course requires a Bachelor level in chemistry.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
This unit will be made of theoretical courses given by the professors in charge and completed by external speakers from academia and industry. Hands on practical exercices will also be carried out for some specific thematics.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Courses will be delivered in classrooms and laboratories.
Recommended or required readings
This will be discussed in due time.
The exams wil lbe made of written open questions and possibly MCQ and T/F questions. This could also be completed by an oral exam where the concepts used to answer the written exam wil be discussedin more details.
Work placement(s)
