Entry knowledge
Knowledge of material sciences and engineering at Masters level.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The examination evaluating theoretical knowledge and its practical
application will take the form of a 30-minute presentation with a
discussion on colloidal and surface chemistry topics related to the
doctoral dissertation.
The course will take place according to the number of candidates through consultations or lectures. At the end of the course the doctoral student will prepare a thematic presentation from the field of coloidal and surface chemistry.

Aims
The course will provide students with the basic physico-chemical
knowledge required for experimental study in the field of inorganic
colloids and the surface behavior of inorganic particles.
The course will provide students with the basic physico-chemical knowledge needed for experimental study in the field of material synthesis, material shaping and properties of non-metallic materials in particular for doctoral study of material and physical engineering.
