Environmental Chemistry is the science of processes that influence the composition and chemical properties of the environment, proper for habitation. It is concerned with the background, behaviour, movement and impact of chemical compounds in all layers of the environment. It researches the means through which the human factor affects these layers. Environmental Chemistry utilizes knowledge and tools from other sciences in the study of air, water and soil. It addresses issue of contamination and degradation and it aims to exploit theoretical knowledge for creating solutions to the aforementioned problems.
Environmental Toxicology is more focused on the destructive effects of chemical agents on the living organisms of all ecosystems. Empowering the knowledge provided by biology, computer science, math and chemistry, it sets out to understand and prevent harmful impact caused by toxic agents.
Nanotechnology focuses on the design and creation of functional materials, structures, devices and systems by directly controlling matter at the nano-level.
Nanoscience studies phenomena and manipulation at the atomic and molecular scale (nanometers: i.e., one billionth of a meter). Important properties such as the electrical, optical, and mechanical properties are determined by the way molecules and atoms assemble on the nanoscale into larger structures.
This new degree program has been designed specifically to provide you with an opportunity to widen your range of skills in a broad range of science specialism’s.
The programme will provide deeper knowledge on the spread of environmental pollutants in nature, the effect they have on the environment and how they affect various forms of biological life. Risk assessments are greatly increasing in importance across the entire world.
This interdisciplinary program offers outstanding students with degrees in chemistry, physics or materials sciences multi-faceted training in the field of advanced materials, covering the range from nanoparticles to macroscopic matter.
Delft University of Technology offers a 2-years taught/research degree programme in Chemical Engineering, fully conducted in English. It trains engineers to handle the entire process of innovative thinking from molecules, reactor, design, and manufacturing.
Ecotoxicology is concerned with the environmental impact of these substances. It aims at characterizing, understanding and finally predicting the effects of toxic chemicals on plant and animal populations, communities and whole ecosystems. As such, ecotoxicology is the scientific basis for environmental frameworks such as for example the new REACH regulation.
The nanoscience Master´s programme at Lund University has its scientific base in a physics description of nanoscale phenomena, but in addition to nanophysics you can, depending on your background and interests, choose to specialise in fields such as nanoelectronics, materials chemistry or biophysics.
The Master's Programme in Toxicology gives students an in-depth knowledge of the broad and interdisciplinary toxicological field. The programme prepares students for either a research or professional career, and provides a solid platform for doctoral studies in toxicology or work in risk/safety assessment-related areas in the public sector or industry.
Environmental science is a young science that deals with human impacts on nature, on the cultural heritage, and on our health. Environmental science studies the threats to the common future on Earth, but also the opportunities that these challenges create.
The FAME international Master of Science degree in Functionalized Advanced Materials and Engineering (FAME) is specialized in : * Hybrid Materials and Ceramics * Materials for Micro- and Nanotechnologies * Nanomaterials and Hybrids * Engineering of Materials and Nanostructures * Nanomaterials and Modelling * Functional Ceramics * Materials Interfaces
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary field. This programme is therefore firmly based on both physics and chemistry to provide a thorough understanding of the properties of nanosized systems and to provide the skills to prepare them.
