      The goalStudents acquire basic theoretical knowledge on the colloid systems, the importance of particles of colloid size and on their properties. Students are required to present a research study.
      The outcomeAfter the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are capable to understand the physico-chemical fundamental principles of colloidal behavior. Besides, they are (i) capable of choosing a proper experimental technique for required measurements and to process the obtained data, (ii) they acquire comunicational and social skills neccessary for team work, and (iii) they are capable of clearly defining experimental problem, finding methods of solving it and of presenting obtained results.
