The main objective of this course is to enable students to acquire practical skills and learn laboratory techniques relevant to the further development of the dissertation.
Besides the acquisition of theoretical knowledge about the selected techniques, students should acquire skills in the practical application of these techniques.
The syllabus is different for each student as they rely on techniques that every student will learn and develop. The set of techniques is suggested by the supervisor of the dissertation that the student will perform in the 2nd year of the curriculum and should be tailored to the specific needs of the dissertation topic.
The bibliography is dependent on the set of laboratory techniques to be developed by each student.
Autonomous work mainly consisting of a study on the subject of the chosen laboratory techniques and the development of work of experimental nature. The work will be supervised by one of the course instructors and and accompanied by the advisor of the student's dissertation.

Requirements for frequency: Preparation of a final report describing the work performed, including the theoretical basis of the techniques studied and the results of its practical application.
To obtain approval, the student must make an oral presentation of the work, followed by public discussion.
The final grade to be given to the student is decided by a jury composed by the professors responsible for the course unit and the dissertation supervisor with the following weighting:
FG = 40% QL + 40% QR + 20% QD
where:
FG - Final grade
QL - Quality of laboratory work
QR - Quality of the report
QD - Quality of presentation and discussion
Similar to the ordinary students.
