Learning outcomes
P1. Know and understand scientific concepts and modern theories of chemistry, as well as the fundamentals of related sciences. P2. Deeply understand the basic facts, concepts, principles and theories related to the subject area mastered during the master's program, use them to solve complex problems and problems, as well as conduct research in the relevant field of chemistry. P9. Collect, evaluate and analyze data needed to solve complex chemistry tasks using appropriate data analysis methods and tools. P10. Plan, organize and conduct experimental research in chemistry using modern equipment, competently process its results and draw sound conclusions. P13. Analyze scientific problems and provide their solutions at the abstract level by decomposing them into components that can be investigated separately.
