Module CH3093 (20 ECTS) Practical in Nanoscience and Advanced Materials
CH3093- In this module students complete a number of advanced experiments in Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science. A part of this experimental education in nanoscience and advanced materials is training in the modern tools and instrumentation used in the state of the art facilities available in CRANN. Minor components include training in communication skills both oral and writtn, personal and career development and attendance at School Seminars.
