The Master’s students in Genomic Biotechnology at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences recently undertook their final field trip in environmental chemistry, whilst also completing their final chemistry practical. During the field trip, they analysed the water quality of the River Zschopau. As well as carrying out chemical analyses of the water samples, they also studied the river’s biology and determined the saprobic index. The outstanding water quality was met with enthusiasm, and some students took the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim. This unforgettable experience illustrates the unique learning experience offered by Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, which enables students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of the ecology of the River Zschopau.
