Master in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology + One Health

Master in Environmental Contamination and Toxicology + One Health is one of 8 English-taught Engineering programmes at Master's Degree level in the register, offered by 4 institutions. 1 of them lists an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland. 8 are recorded as free for EU, EEA and Swiss students.

What you study

This is a two-year full-time master's worth 120 ECTS, taught in English and run across several European universities. The focus is how chemicals move through the environment and what they do to living systems, from molecular biology up to ecosystem management. The programme calls this One Health: the link between the health of nature and human health.

Topics named in the programme description include pollutant biogeochemistry and ecotoxicology, water pollution, marine ecology, Arctic contamination, regulatory toxicology and risk assessment, advanced analytical chemistry, and how chemicals affect health. You learn how pollutants interact with living systems and how to protect both nature and people.

Admission, language and next steps

The programme is taught in English. Entry requirements are not listed in the register description; it says to see the programme site. That page also covers tuition, and NTNU's tuition information page has the details. Check both before you apply, along with the application deadline and the application system, which NTNU sets.

The first semester is spent at one of four partner universities: the University of Liege in Belgium, the University of Bordeaux or the University of Pau in France, or the University of Porto in Portugal. In the second semester you can study at the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) as an NTNU student, or at another university. The third semester is at the University of the Basque Country. In the fourth semester you write your master's thesis in connection with one of the universities, NTNU included.

Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland are normally exempt from tuition fees at state institutions. Other degree students normally pay a fee that NTNU sets. Start with the official programme page for the full picture.

Master’s applications go straight to Norwegian University of Science and Technology, not through the national admission service (NUCAS). Study in Norway states that you need a bachelor’s degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS), including courses equal to at least one and a half years of full-time study relevant to the programme. Deadlines are set by each institution for each programme, so confirm yours. Entry requirements and language tests are also set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, study permits and housing.
