What it is	Environmental Chemistry is the study of chemical processes that happen in nature and how human activity affects them — from water pollution to atmospheric reactions to soil contamination. Unlike a pure chemistry degree, it combines lab work with environmental science, so you learn both the chemistry itself and why it matters for ecosystems and human health. It suits people who want a science degree but care about real-world environmental problems rather than working only in industrial or research settings.	You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
