ECTS credits: 8
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The main objective of the module is to broaden students' knowledge of modern experimental methods used in medical physics, physics and biophysics. Individual lectures are correlated with laboratory classes conducted in research laboratories. Laboratory exercises consist in performing tests by students and their analysis. This will allow them to practically get acquainted with specialized research equipment, enabling them to learn about the properties, structure and composition of substances, and provide knowledge about their use in broadly understood medical physics and even in medicine and biophysics.
