Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
- General chemistry course (1st year Bachelor)
- Modern physics / partim Quantum physics (1st quadrimester of 2nd year Bachelor)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :  
5 practical sessions (4 h each) are organized. Attendance is compulsory. Students are required to wear lab coats and safety glasses. Grades will be based on written reports and behaviour in the lab.
