Educational Goals

  • To obtain knowledge on the principles of instrumental analysis applied on food control.
  • To recognize, understand and interpret the physical chemical phenomena that are applied on the instrumental analysis techniques.
  • The ability to mathematically describe and assess the physicochemical parameters for food quality.
  • To apply the above in analytical laboratories.

General Skills

  • To search and analyze information with the use of technology.
  • To promote analytical, productive and inductive thought.
  • To work in an interdisciplinary environment.
  • To work independently.
  • To work in a group.

Teaching Methods

Face to face:

  • Classroom teaching.
  • Laboratory group work in an appropriately equipped laboratory.

Use of ICT means

  • Use of IT/C technologies.
  • Project on-based computer presentations.
  • Notes and solved exercises in electronic form.
  • Use of video and internet resources in teaching.
