Course Overview

The X-ray Crystallography and Diffraction online training is an undergraduate-level core course. The programme belongs to the category of metallurgy and material science and mining engineering. Students in similar fields and domains such as physics, chemistry, and biological sciences will benefit from this course.

The X-ray Crystallography and Diffraction undergraduate course focuses on the properties, functions of the internal structure, and arrangement of atoms in a crystalline material. It offers an insight into how x-ray diffraction can solve crystallographic issues related to single and poly-crystalline material, right from the base.

The X-ray Crystallography and Diffraction online course require candidates to hand in 12 assignments out of which Swayam will consider a 25 percent average of the best eight as part of the final score. Candidates also have to answer an external proctored exam, and a total of 75 percent of this score will be added to the final score. Upon acquiring 40 percent in the final score, candidates will be eligible to get a certificate.
