To keep the subject updated is highly recommended. This includes reviewing the theoretical lessons after the classes, solving the numerical exercises, studying the practical classes, etc. Students should take advantage of seminars, supervision activities, etc. to solve their doubts. They should try to generate a sense of ‘analytical criterion’ to solve a problem; from sampling to data treatment.

Students will need knowledge of the analytical techniques studied in previous academic courses (gravimetry, titration, spectrometry, chromatography, electrochemistry, etc.)

A minimum knowledge of informatics is needed (word processors, spreadsheets, searches throughout internet, etc.).
