Additional professional competences

The student will be able to distinguish between different materials and recognise their structural characteristics based on their properties. They will be able to interpret changes in properties under chemical effect. Be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the subject to the choice of materials.

Requirements, evaluation and grading

Mid-term study requirements

The report of the laboratory exercises must be submitted by the following laboratory practice. At the end of the semester, the average of the results will be calculated. To be eligible to take the exam, you must have at least a satisfactory (2) average in the laboratory exercises. The grade will be 30% of the lab and 70% of the exam. All labs must be attended to complete the semester. In the case of an unsuccessful exam, the result of the lab exercise can be used for 1 additional semester, after which only the result of the exam counts. Two grades offered on the basis of two non-compulsory written examinations may be obtained.

Exam requirements

Oral or written exam.
