Environmental Science is an integrated science that involves the use of the knowledge and skills of applied biochemistry, biology, and chemistry to test, assess, and resolve environmental problems. The basic courses of the programme cover the fundamentals of biochemistry, biology, and chemistry. Subjects including environmental pollution and toxicology, environmental chemistry, environmental instrumentation techniques, environmental impact assessment, and principles of environmental management and pollution control are provided to nurture all-round interest of students in environmental science. The curriculum prepares students for further studies and careers in environmental chemistry and instrumentation techniques, environmental impact assessment, pollution monitoring, toxicology and environmental conservation in government and private sectors. Students can also choose to conduct supervised research on a special area of their choice in environmental science. This will strengthen their knowledge in environmental science and their ability to write research reports. Graduates are prepared for jobs related to environmental science as well as postgraduate studies. The programme also offers M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees, in which students can undertake projects for more in-depth study and research.
