Overview
The Graduate Certificate of Green and Sustainable Technologies provides expert training in green technologies coupled with sustainability to support the transformation of various industries. The principles of green technologies will be coupled with an understanding of sustainability issues to advance the reduction or elimination of hazardous substances involved in the design, manufacture and or application of diverse chemical products. The environmental, economic and social benefits are examined. Students choose aspects of green technologies, from innovation to design, and focus on applications in different contexts. The course can act as a pathway to the Master of Green and Sustainable Technologies.
