Магистерская программа по химии в области экологической форензики

Environmental forensics is a multidisciplinary science combining various disciplines for increased knowledge of chemicals released into the environment and their effects on human and environmental health. The Master of Chemistry in Environmental Forensics (MSc) offers a broad education in close connection to research related to chemical safety, health, and the environment. This education gives you the opportunity to develop the knowledge needed for you to contribute to a sustainable society.

The program offers insight into several disciplines including (bio)analytical and environmental analysis to characterize the source and amount of chemical contaminants in the environment and describe their history. To facilitate a broad understanding of environmental forensics, the master's program includes a wide range of sciences, focusing on environmental chemistry, field sampling, human and environmental health, analytical chemistry, bioanalytical methods, and chemometrics. The education ensures students gain practical field experience, studying real-life cases adopted from industry and research projects. The program uses problem-based learning (PBL) to encourage active learning and to develop problem-solving abilities and good communication skills.

Year one covers the distribution of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, human exposure, chemical and bioanalytical methods, and advanced statistics. Year two includes chemical safety, risk assessment, green chemistry, and global sustainability followed by project work in a research group and/or with industry.

Örebro University is a young, modern and rapidly growing university with an ambitious agenda for the future. Our students and researchers are living proof of our aim to create an attractive place for both work and study.

Our vision - the courage to review and the ability to evolve – forms the base of our everyday work. Our master students come from around the world, and benefit from close contact with other students, teachers, researchers and professors - our class sizes are never more than 30 students.

We offer high-quality international master’s programmes in a variety of disciplines: social science, communication, statistics, informatics, chemistry, robotics, medicine, physiology and economics.

We have two campuses - the main campus and our specialised medical campus. Both are well-connected to the city centre of Örebro, as well as being close to nature.

Örebro also has one of the widest-ranging selections of sports and events available in any city in Sweden, and is enviably located - Stockholm, Gothenburg and even Oslo can be reached directly from Örebro.

We have a range of departments set up to help you from registering interest to registering for study. As a prospective student, you can get direct help with the application process; once accepted, we offer dedicated support with accommodation, visa queries and more. When you arrive in Örebro, you will be greeted by our Student Support team, who organise a comprehensive introduction programme for new arrivals.
