Higher education in environmental sciences with chemistry emphasis: bachelor and master programmes in Europe (original) (raw)

This paper examines the evolution and current landscape of higher education programs in environmental sciences with a chemistry emphasis across European universities. Following the Bologna process, it investigates the significance of environmental chemistry and ecotoxicology in academic curricula, emphasizing the need for a diversified and robust educational framework to address emerging environmental challenges. The findings are based on a comprehensive survey conducted by the Division of Chemistry and the Environment (DCE) of EuCheMS, highlighting trends in student enrollment and the integration of interdisciplinary approaches within environmental science education.
