Descriptions

Prerequisites

Inorganic and analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry and microbiology

Course contents (core content level)

The aim of the course is, that the students in small groups study an environmental problem which they choose from real life; and use related analytical methods and measuring techniques in their study.
The course is performed as a problem based learning project and includes project management, information search, sampling, laboratory working and presentation of the results both orally and in written form. The course guidance is implemented in an Internet environment.

Course contents (additional)

- Developing working life contacts
- Learn to learn and self reflection
- Acting in an interdisciplinary environment
