Objectives
The main objective is to provide a solid and broad scientifical basis ( chemical and fysico-chemical) which in practice gives access to the application of a great variety of qualitative and quantitative analytical methods and which allows to interpret correctly the derived special literature. Gradually more emphasis is put on a great variety of industrial applications (quality control, problem solving,...)


Topics
Theory:
General basic electrochemical principles (mass transport, diffusion, potentials,...)
Electrochemical methods:
- potentiometry
- electrolysis
- voltammetry and polarography
- amperometry
- coulometry

Exercises:
Advanced exercises
Applications of the different analytical techniques on several sample matrices (food, packing, environmental issues,...)


Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry (candidatures) and advanced background of analytical chemistry.

Assessment
Theoretical partim: combination of written and oral examination
Practical sessions: permanent evaluation and written examination

However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
