MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY
Introduction
This is the chemistry that looks into the effects of chemicals on the soil, air and water. New areas introduced include air chemistry, environmental geology, industrial ecology, biotechnology, fuel science, risk assessment management and project management.The aim of this postgraduate program is to produce graduates who are well grounded in environmental science, project management and research skills.
Career Opportunities
Graduates find employment in various government departments, parastatals, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and intergovernmental bodies involved in environmental management, research and development. In industry, opportunities exist in product marketing, process control, quality assurance, product design, wastewater management, risk assessment in various industries (eg construction, aviation, tanning, textile, cement, paints), forensic science, water and wastewater purification, toxicology, oceanography, just to name a few.
