2. LEARNING OUTCOMES Learning Outcomes (according to Bologna process)
The aim of this module is to provide upgraded knowledge on classical physical chemistry, including advanced course of chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and many aspects of colloidal chemistry with practical examples. After successful completion of the module the students will be able to understand the basic principles of food processing, to apply main theories on different systems and to have competent point of view on theoretical problems.
General Skills
Individual and autonomous work Working in a multidisciplinary environment Formation of creative, inductive and independent thinking
