Module studies

You complete the module studies with an examination and receive the specified credit points. These can be credited towards a Bachelor's or Master's degree. The modular study programme is interesting for you if you only want to book a single module. At the end, you will receive a certificate with a detailed list of your achievements.

Product information "Environmental Chemistry"

The course provides an introduction to the basics and principles of environmental chemistry. This includes an introduction to compartments, parameters and processes to understand and to model concentrations in the environment and basic analytical methods as well as the distributions of certain substances in the different compartments of the environment, namely the atmosphere, the oceans, the soil and sediments. Furthermore, the principles of abiotic degradation reactions such as hydrolysis and direct and indirect photolysis will be discussed. The abiotic part is followed by an introduction to biotic degradation in the liquid phase and bacterial metabolism and enzymatic biodegradation.

A laboratory unit focussing on the degradation of chemicals in the environment is a mandatory part of the module and will take place every year in July.
