- Course objectives
- The aim of the course is to practice the basic relationships of general and physical chemistry as well as the structures and properties of an-/organic compounds important in the follow-up subject of biochemistry.
- Learning outcomes
- After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- understand the basics of general, inorganic and organic chemistry in the scope necessary for further study of biochemistry.
- apply general physical and chemical laws to processes in living organisms.
- describe the properties of the major biogenic elements and compounds important in medicine, nutrition, and toxicology.
- understand the chemical properties of organic and bioorganic compounds. - Syllabus

- Teaching methods
- Active practice, written verification of acquired knowledge.
- Assessment methods
- Credit. Conditions for giving the course-unit credit:
1) completion of all seminars and 2) completion of in-term tests.
Failure to meet the requirements of in-term tests requires a resit test, which may be repeated only once. All absences must be made up before a resit test.
Detailed conditions are published in Study materials posted under the course/Interactive Syllabus. - Language of instruction
