  • Diploma in Enviromental Technology

  • There is growing disconnect between humans and the environment, but well-trained environmental technologists are looking for solutions as pressures from population, industry and society continue to stress our ecosystem. Equipped with knowledge rooted in an evolving priority of sustainability that is grounded in risk and analytical testing, technologists provide innovative ways to reduce human impact on the environment and work towards a more sustainable way of living

  • This dynamic program focuses on the chemical and biological sciences as they relate to environmental pollution. An emphasis is placed on ground and surface water quality, soil and waste management and recycling in urban and industrial settings. You will also examine environmental regulations and review their social and economic impacts on communities.

    Training and experience in the handling, analysis and monitoring of a wide variety of biological and chemical parameters linked to pollution are at the heart of this program. First-hand field work and laboratory experience is emphasized in areas such as:

  • Analytical chemistry
  • Environmental chemistry
  • Environmental Sampling
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Instrumental analysis
  • Microbiology

  • Environmental problems and concerns are constantly changing and at Durham College we aim to adapt in order to stay at the leading edge of these changes. Statistics Canada has identified environmental technology as one of the top emerging employment sectors.

    Student Testimonials:

    I have recently graduated from the Environmental Technology program and can honestly say that everything you learn will be used for future employment. I worked with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change for two summer placements with the air quality division which heavily relied on chromatography, spectroscopy and environmental regulations. I now work for a global environmental civil engineering firm for ambient air quality where my studies and experience did not just help me prepare for the interview but got me the job. Environmental Technology is an amazing program with a lot of future employment to look forward to and will truly prepare you for work in the environmental field.
