Introduction

This flagship 1-year program is the first to offer Master’s students a comprehensive approach to tackling pollution by combining 21st-century toxicology with a foundation in environmental law.

Build the skills to protect a healthy environment

Offered through the Centre for Environmental Research and Justice (CERJ), this course delivers an essential skill set for resolving the present-day challenges faced by communities coping with industrial pollution.

This unique program fills a gap identified both by students seeking real-world impact and by partners in community organizations, green industry, and government. Sustainability-minded organizations across sectors have a growing need for team members who can navigate the complexity of environmental problems and solutions.

Graduates of this program will understand not only what the latest science is revealing about toxic chemicals but also the legal and policy structures by which lasting change is made.
