Do you want a career in uncovering how chemicals move through our world and affect the health of ecosystems and humans? The Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Master’s Programme follows contaminants from their source to their far-reaching effects, exploring how industrial activity, consumer products and everyday emissions release chemicals into air, water and soil. You’ll investigate how their physical and chemical properties determine where they travel, how they transform and how they accumulate in living organisms. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the mechanisms that drive toxicity and the environmental and chemical factors that amplify or reduce risk. If you’re driven to understand pollution and passionate about protecting the environment, this programme equips you with the scientific depth and analytical mindset to trace how chemicals travel through natural systems.

The programme is structured so that the first year consists of compulsory courses, while the second year is dedicated to a degree project of 30, 45 or 60 credits depending on the student's choice, with the possibility of also taking optional courses.
