Abstract:
Environmental chemistry plays a vital role in the assessment of chemical pollution of the environment and thus contributes to the protection of ecosystems and human health. For this reason, it is important to provide future generations with the necessary knowledge and skills in environmental chemistry. The overall aim of this study was to assess the current state of environmental chemistry education in Slovenia by providing an overview of Slovenian study programmes in environmental science and identifying the significance of chemistry for secondary, short-cycle higher vocational, and higher education (including bachelor's, master's, and PhD studies). A total of 46 study programmes offering environmental science were identified, with wide variability in their chemistry content at different levels of education. This study provides valuable information on environmental chemistry education in Slovenia to students and scientists interested or engaged in environmental science.
