Course Overview
The Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology online course aims to sensitise candidates on the environmental problems and how learning the facets of microbiology and environmental chemistry can help overcome it. The course is for both undergraduate and postgraduate level students.
The Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology certification syllabus includes major topics from environmental chemistry like chemical equilibria, reaction kinetics, basic concepts of chemistry, acidity, alkalinity, acids, and bases.
Other core topics covered include nuclear chemistry, nitrogen chemistry, carbonate system, chlorination, to name a few. On the other hand, the microbiology concepts covered in the curriculum include viruses, microbial growth, pathogens, microbial diversity, protozoa, algae, and the like.
Besides, the Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology certification by Swayam is taught by two eminent professors with a wide range of experience in the field, namely Prof. Anjali Pal and Prof. Sudha Goel. The programme consists of weekly assignments and a final assessment to check the candidates' progress.

Eligibility Criteria
The Environmental Chemistry and Microbiology online programme requires candidates to have basic chemistry knowledge from class 12. The course does not look for any other educational or work background.
Further, to receive the course certificate, candidates' 25% of the weekly assignments' average score will be considered for the final score; out of 12 assignments, eight of the best-scored ones would be chosen. Also, 75% of the final examination score will be considered. The combined score of these two will be used to calculate the candidate's eligibility for the certificate.
