Overview

Two major problems are facing industrialised society. How do we maintain our standards of living without, firstly, using non-renewable resources as sources of energy and as raw materials for manufacturing industries and, secondly, compromising our local and global environment?

The Chemistry with Environmental and Sustainable Chemistry (Hons) programme offered by University College Dublin will be central to solving these problems. This discipline, which draws from all branches of chemistry, will enable us to produce the materials and energy we use through ways that minimise the impact on the environment.

Furthermore, it will be crucial in developing a variety of resources (solar power, biofuel synthesis, fuel cells, etc.) for use in renewable energy generation.

Careers

Apart from the disciplines that are available to graduates with a BSc in Chemistry, graduates in Chemistry with Environmental & Sustainable Chemistry will be particularly suited to employment in the environmental and emerging energy industries, including:

Commercial environmental analysis

Alternative energy industry

Environmental Protection Agency

ESB

Bord Gáis

Graduates can also pursue a range of MSc or PhD opportunities in Ireland or abroad.
