Organisation and examination

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, the students will be able
- to propose experimental procedures for synthesis of inorganic materials by common methods
- to use their background knowledge to develop further knowledge by reading review papers
