General information on the study
Academic year 2013/2014
the beginning: 1.10.2013
the end: 30.9.2014
Winter semester
Teaching period:
1.10.2013 - 10.1.2014
Examination period: 13.1.2014 - 16.2.2014
Summer semester
Teaching period:

Forms of instruction
Lectures
attendance is voluntary
Practicals
compulsory ! (= is required; mandatory; obligatory)
At the end of each semester, for each prescribed subject, you
have to obtain a "CREDIT".
Moreover, for subjects closed by the final examination, you
have to successfully pass the "FINAL EXAM".
You have to fulfill all the study requirements till the end of
academic year!
(It does not matter if it is a subject of winter or summer semester.)
Final exams
Grades:
1

PROBLEM
Final exam dates
- not a single exam date for all the students !
- you can "freely" choose a date (from the terms offered)

- still not passed:
one term per week throughout winter semester examination period
one term per month throughout summer semester
one term in September
Requirements for the credit
1. Attendance at the seminars and laboratories
seminars: 1 absence is allowed
laboratories: BOTH successfully passed
2. Completed reports from the laboratories
3. All the tests successfully passed
Medical chemistry final exam
Terms:

Exact dates are usually announced in the beginning of January.
Extra terms:
one per month throughout summer semester
(March, April, May, June)
one term in September
These terms are usually published one by one 2-3 weeks in advance.
Application for the exam
SIS (Student Information System) - online
Medical chemistry final exam
1. Written part (test)
2. Oral part
a) main test on the subject (lectures)
max. 60 points to pass: at least 40
b) test on nomenclature
max. 12 points to pass: at least 8
c) test on calculations
5 calculations
to pass: at least 3 correctly calculated
- a combination of TWO topics to discuss with your Examiner
(usually one topic on general or inorganic chemistry
and one topic on organic chemistry)
to pass: You have to be above the limit in all the parts of the final exam !
in case you fail: All the parts must be repeated, even those you had above the limit !

Danger in a laboratory
Burns – caused by:
heat
chemicals (acids, hydroxides, phenol)
Wounds (sharp injuries of the skin)
broken glass !!!
Electricity
Intoxication
Fire
Principles of security (safety rules)
LAB COATS
