- Environmental Monitoring (programme FU, APFYZB)
- Course objectives
- The goal of the course is unification of secondary school knowledge in general, inorganic and organic chemistry, and necessary extension of secondary school knowledge.
- Learning outcomes
- After completing the course, the student will acquire knowledge in basic chemical disciplines - general, inorganic and organic chemistry and will be able to summarize their interrelationships. Students will use the acquired knowledge in further studies focused on measuring and monitoring of environmental quality indicators.
