Courses

Picture of UTM campusAt least four half-courses to include the following:

  • CHM1401H
  • At least one other half-course in Environmental Chemistry (EES/ENV1105H, CHM1404H, CHM/IES1410H, CHM1415H, CHM1420H, CHM1430H, CHM1425H, CHM1550H)
  • At least one CHM course to be chosen in consultation with the supervisor/supervisory committee and confirmed by the field representative.
  • One other half-course that may be an approved course offered in a cognate department.
  • A formal permission from the Associate Chair is required if a student needs to take a course other than the core course to complete his or her course requirements within the sub-discipline.

Seminars

  • Presentation of two seminars (usually in the second and fourth years of study) and participation in the Environmental Chemistry seminar and colloquia program (CHM1590Y).

Research

  • Enrolment in the Environmental Research course (CHM2533H) every term, starting in the second term of program registration.
  • Students receive a grade from the supervisor for work undertaken in the laboratory toward completion of the thesis. 
  • A written research proposal, defended orally, on a topic other than the primary research topic delivered prior to the end of the second year of graduate study.

Comprehensive Field Examination

  • Successful completion of an oral examination in the area of Environmental Chemistry, usually completed following course work and before the end of the second year of study.
