What is Environmental Chemistry?
Learn to understand the big picture of diverse environments by examining its smallest components. Studies will introduce contemporary approaches to quantifying contaminants, along with sources of chemicals, their cycles, and the impact they have on organisms and ecosystems.

"Trent values diversity and promotes research across borders, offering a unique combination of three key ingredients fundamental to successful research programs: outstanding collegial environment, motivated students, and world-class facilities. At Trent we aspire to climb the ladder of success but also endure to leave the ladder down so others can follow."
The Experience
Discover the environment at the molecular level and how it influences life at the global level. Your studies in Environmental Chemistry will address contemporary issues in modeling the behaviour and fate of molecules in the environment.
Program
Trent is renowned for its focus on environmental issues. This program provides a solid background in both chemistry and environmental science. You will be prepared to handle challenging environmental problems from a multidisciplinary perspective. The Environmental Chemistry degree is a single-major degree, which may be taken as a 4-year (Honours, 20 credits total) or 3-year (General, 15 credits total) Program.
