Master of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies

The Master of Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies is a two-year course that provides expert training in Green technologies coupled with Sustainability, where both these aspects have to be addressed for the future chemical industries and other enterprises where chemistry has a role. The principles of green technologies will be coupled with a firm understanding of sustainability issues that will lead to the reduction or elimination of hazardous substances involved in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. The environmental, economic and social benefits arising from the transformation of the chemical industries of the future will be examined. The course will provide you with core specialist studies in green technologies, focused on applications in different contexts, and integrated with sustainability principles covering both technical, business and societal and cultural issues. You will have the opportunity to undertake an industry consultancy project and a research project. It is structured to allow maximum flexibility for those of you with varied backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, biotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences, and food science where chemistry is a key component of these other programs. As a graduate, you will be strongly placed to gain employment in a range of industries, government and non-government organisations and to contribute to your continued development to meet the needs of the future.
