Master's in Environmental Science: Toxicology & Chemistry

This Master's programme in Environmental Science, focusing on Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, provides in-depth knowledge about the impact of human activities such as industrial manufacturing, transportation, and consumer goods on the environment. You will learn how chemicals are released into air, water, and soil and how they spread and bioaccumulate through food webs. The course covers chemical analysis, physical-chemical modelling, toxicology, and risk assessment of contaminants. You will gain hands-on experience sampling and analysing trace chemicals from various environments. The programme also introduces toxicology research tools and explores how contaminant exposure harms living organisms. You will examine environmental regulations in Europe and worldwide, helping you critically assess risk assessments for organic chemicals. Graduates will be well-equipped for environmental management, consulting, and research careers in private, governmental, or NGO sectors. The programme combines lectures, lab work, field excursions, and project work, preparing you for a successful career or further academic study.
