Aim:
The aim of the course is to give fundamental theoretical, practical and instrumental knowledge in the field of atomic and molecular spectrometry and electroanalytical chemistry. After completing this course the student should be able to:
  • Give an account of basic concepts within the area of spectrometry and electroanalytical chemistry.
  • Describe the principles and construction of spectrometric and electroanalytical instruments.
  • Explain the chemical principles of spectrometric and electroanalytical methods.
  • Interpret and qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate data obtained from spectrometric and electroanalytical analyses.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Calculation tools for chemistry students.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
