- Learning outcomes
- The student knows and understands the theoretical foundations of environmental analytical methods, including the operating principles of spectroscopic, chromatographic and electroanalytical techniques, as well as the limits of their applicability in different environmental matrices. The student is able to sample environmental samples, apply appropriate preparation techniques and perform quantitative and qualitative analyses with modern analytical instruments. The student is able to evaluate analytical data, determine measurement uncertainty, and place the results in an environmental science context and interpret them professionally. The student strives for precise and quality laboratory work, adhering to safety regulations and professional protocols, and is committed to continuous professional development. The student identifies with environmental protection goals and assumes responsibility for professional contribution to solving environmental problems and for raising awareness of the social significance of analytical results. The student is able to independently plan and implement environmental analytical projects, including developing a sampling strategy, selecting appropriate methods and professionally documenting the results, and make decisions on professional issues arising at all stages of the investigation process.
