Environmental Chemistry - BSc (Hons)

University of Lincoln

Environmental Chemistry combines chemistry and geography to investigate environmental problems and explore potential sustainable solutions. You'll study how chemical processes affect the environment and how human activity contributes to issues such as water quality, pollution, land contamination, climate change and environmental change.The course is broadly 50% Chemistry and 50% Geography. You'll learn how to use analytical chemistry to investigate environmental problems, alongside geographical approaches to understanding ecosystems, Earth systems, climate and environmental change.You'll develop practical experience through laboratory work, fieldwork, case studies and research. You'll also develop skills in data analysis, GIS, environmental assessment and scientific communication, helping you understand how environmental evidence can inform real-world decisions.At Lincoln, this interdisciplinary approach brings together established Chemistry and Geography expertise, giving you the opportunity to study environmental challenges from both chemical and geographical perspectives.
