Learning outcomes

If you specialize in atmospheric chemistry, you learn how chemistry affects the composition the Earth’s atmosphere and how to measure the chemical composition of the atmosphere. By specializing in nuclear chemistry, you receive thorough education in what radioactivity is, how safely to work with radioactive materials, radio-chemical methods of analysis and detection techniques, and applications in industry and medicine.

Atmospheric chemistry

You will learn

  • what trace chemicals are present in the atmosphere and how they react with each other
  • how to study sources and sinks of air pollutants
  • how to use advanced instrumentation for measuring trace chemicals in the Earth’s atmosphere
  • how to analyze and interpret complex atmospheric composition data

Nuclear chemistry

You will learn

  • how safely to work with radioactive materials (radiation protection) and common methods for detecting radioactive radiation
  • radio-chemical methods of analysis, neutron activation analysis and how to use radiactive tracers to follow reactions and processes
  • applications in industry and nuclear medicine
  • aspects of the nuclear energy use, safety and preparedness with regard to nuclear materials, problems related to naturally occurring radioactivity in minerals and oil resources
