The students on the Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosol Physics study track will learn to understand how and why chemical and physical transformations occur in the atmosphere, with particular emphasis on processes related to atmospheric aerosol particles and their effects on air quality, health, and climate. The track provides a solid theoretical foundation in the mechanisms that govern gas-phase reactions, particle formation and growth, cloud interactions, and radiative effects, while also highlighting their interdisciplinary links to ecosystems, energy systems, and climate mitigation.
Students can tailor their studies toward atmospheric chemistry or aerosol physics, and further choose between computational and theoretical approaches or experimental (laboratory and field) methods. Through this, they develop both practical and analytical competence—ranging from the operation of advanced measurement instruments and data analysis to numerical modelling and simulation. The track also strengthens transferable skills in scientific communication, critical evaluation of data and literature, and teamwork, preparing graduates to contribute their expertise to research, policy, and industry in addressing air-quality and climate challenges.
