| Learning outcomes |
|
The course offers practical special measurements in physics, which goes beyond the techniques taught in practical courses of basic physics course. Lectures provide necessary theoretical and experimental basis. Experiments are carried out in research laboratories at the Faculty of Science.
The students will gain practical knowledge of selected advanced experimental methods commonly used in physics/biophysics. They will be able to design and carry out experiments using the scientific instruments used in the course. |
