The course Experimental Methods in Chemistry aims to provide a general introduction to the principles
and methods, which are basically applied in chemical laboratory. The course set the knowledge base for
understanding of the principles of different experimental methods starting with separation methods. It
also covers various characterization methods like diffraction, microscopic, and spectroscopic methods.

The final mark is based on the oral examination. The oral exam is preceded by a written test, which must be passed with a minimum score of 60%. The oral examination takes place during the examination period and students must first obtain the credit for practical exercises. Credit for exercises is based on the oral presentation on the chosen topic. The presentations take place in the credit week.
