Environmental Chemistry and Contamination - Specialization
Environmental Chemistry & Contamination
Environmental engineers with this specialization obtain in-depth knowledge on the occurrence, fate, and effects of chemicals and particulate pollutants in the environment. Candidates acquire skills to perform risk evaluation and mitigation for improved quality of air, water, and soil. Conceptual understanding, field & laboratory investigations, and computational approaches form the cornerstones of this specialization.
Environmental Engineering students wishing to obtain a specialization in Environmental Chemistry & Contamination must complete at least 30 ECTS within the following group of courses:
| 12115 | Wastewater treatment and valorization | 10 | point | Spring F5A (Wed 8-12) and Spring F5B (Wed 13-17) |
| 12228 | Urban air pollution | 5 | point | Autumn E2B (Thurs 8-12) |

Students enrolled in the DTU MSc programme prior to September 2021 the following courses also fulfill the requirements for the specialization:
| 02431 | Risk Management | 5 | point | January |
| 12226 | Air Pollution and Environmental Effects | 5 | point | E2B (Thurs 8-12) |
| 12233 | Surface Water Quality | 10 | point | Autumn E5 (Wed 8-17) |
Specializations are merely recommended ways of choosing the courses in the curriculum. Applicants are not admitted to a specialization but to the programme and it is possible to choose among all the courses in the curriculum following the directions given. However, if a specialization has been fulfilled the title of the specialization may be added to the diploma.
