Learning Outcomes of UE

Being able to summarize a bibliographic research, to establish a research strategy in the light of the state of the art of the topic, to identify experimental methods. Being able to use slides to present a research topic.

Content of UE

Preparatory work for the master thesis taking place in a research group. This work includes a literature review on the master thesis topic. In addition, with the help of the promoter, it also consists os establishingof ( i) the experimental strategy that will be implemented and (ii) the definition of the experimental tools and techniques that will be used during the master thesis.

Prior Experience

Depends on the research topic
