COURSES

Goals

The objective of the course is to acquaint a student with radiochemical procedures and techniques for selected applications. This objective is related to competences: - Command of research methods, procedures and processes, and well-formed skills for critical judgment; - Critical thinking at both academic level and in practice; - Communication ability and skills in the international environment; - Ability to work in a team and in international environment; - Command for specific handling of radioactive materials and in particular for work with open sources of ionising radiation.
