Master of Science - Environmental Forensic Analysis

Glasgow Caledonian University - Glasgow

The use of scientific techniques to look into environmental contamination sources is known as environmental forensics. Global environmental concerns are a matter of concern, as demonstrated by the two previous COP meetings held in Glasgow and Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. In the field of forensic science, this is an essential field for expansion.

This course teaches students how to identify the origin, spread, and impacts of environmental pollutants, such as those found in soil, water, and air, as well as how they affect ecosystem health and human health. Students will get a solid understanding of data science to support their conclusions, such as when it comes to chemical fate modelling and where pollution will have the biggest effects.

One could pursue a wide range of careers, from tracking pharmaceuticals in wastewater to looking into the causes of oil spills. Our graduates will be qualified to support cases in court and employ logical analytical techniques. Our graduates will be highly employable, especially for public organisations and private environmental consulting firms, thanks to their strong analytical skills, understanding of data processing, and awareness of global environmental regulatory issues.
