Máster Interuniversitario Erasmus Mundus en Calidad en los Laboratorios Analíticos – Resultados de la enseñanza
EMQAL syllabus and learning outcomes
All parts of the programme (modules, internship, and research project) contribute to the 8
EMQAL learning outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be able to:
- design, implement and manage a quality system in an analytical laboratory;
- implement suitable internal and external quality control activities in an analytical laboratory;
- understand, select and apply a set of instrumental analytical techniques appropriate for a given problem;
- develop and validate new methods of analysis;
- plan a validation program for a given method of analysis;
- critically analyse and evaluate data using statistical tools and software;
- prepare and compile a scientific report and communicate the findings orally;
- seek employment and be a valuable asset in a professional environment.
