Overview
The study course offers knowledge on chemical properties of xenobiotics and other anthropogenic substances, their interactions with the biosphere, their detection and monitoring, and Also legal aspects related to this field.
EnviTox focuses on Biology, Chemistry and Environmental Sciences, therefore students with a Bachelor Degree in biology, chemistry or ecology and similar fields of study are welcome as applicants for EnviTox.
Careers
Graduates in Master of Environmental Toxicology from University of Duisburg-Essen are experts in the monitoring and assessment of xenobiotics and other anthropogenic substances. They can hold position in the fields of:
- Chemical and pharmaceutical industry
- Private and administrative offices
- Analytical laboratories
- Environmental protection agencies and NGOs
- Furthermore, successful students may also continue their academic education aiming at a PhD.
Programme Structure
- The study course EnviTox consists of a more theoretical first study year and a more practical second study year.
- The curriculum comprises nine modules, including a 16-week internship, and the six-months Master's Thesis as final module.
- The nine modules of the curriculum cover three groups of knowledge and its application. In group “ Fundamentals” students are introduced to the field of EnviTox (Module “Aspects of environmental research”), they gain fundamental knowledge of the movement of substances in environmental compartments (Environmental chemistry), obtain insight into important molecular biological sciences (biochemistry and bioinformatics) and learn how to monitor chemical substances in different matrices (Environmental analytics).
