External form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Knowledge of analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, chromatographic analysis, spectral analysis, and statistical methods of processing in chemistry
2. Knowledge of English at B1 level
Course content
The course helps students develop an understanding of analytical chemistry as a science of measurement; introduces the basic concepts of modern metrology, such as “metrological traceability” and “measurement uncertainty,” as well as the types of measurement errors in analytical chemistry, their causes, and ways to eliminate them. The course also covers processes aimed at achieving measurement consistency, such as validation, verification, calibration, and accompanying statistical methods. The course is fundamental for training specialists in the fields of analytical chemistry, environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical control, and the food and chemical industries.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Lectures, practical classes, independent work
Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment includes two modular tests (remotely), assessment of independent work (remotely), and literature search. Assessment is carried out on a 100-point scale. Final assessment is in the form of a credit. The maximum/minimum number of points that a student can receive during semester assessment is 100 points/60 points.
