Topic

Within the frame of the theoretical and practical trainings of this subject students will study the analytical approach of chemistry. This approach is crucial for the study of almost all pharmaceutical sciences like pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical technology etc. Students have to learn and examine the theory and practice of analytical reactions, methods, rules and calculations. Students will learn how to identify an unknown inorganic sample in both simple and complex manner of the analysis. At the end of the semester they should be able to know how to analyze an unknown sample for the most important cations and anions. Students should prove to demonstrate that they know how to use the theoretical knowledge in the pharmaceutical practice while finding out what their unknown sample is.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Maximum of 15 % absence allowed

Mid-term exams

Only those students are allowed to have exam at the and of the semester, who completed the practical course successfully.
The students will have to write two or three written midtermtests. None of them can be repeated, there is no retake. The result must be above 60%, respectively!!
Exam topics/questions
The semester is closed with a written test. In the case the result will not reach the 60% level, the student fails, she or he has to repeat the exam. In all other cases (above 60%), the student will receive a grade from qualitative inorganic analysis, based on the results of the two written tests and the overall result of the practical work throughout the semester (maximum score: 5 points).

Making up for missed classes

According to the regolations of the PTE.
