Overview

Master of Environmental Engineering and Pollution Control

The wants and needs of a rapidly expanding global population mean it has never been more important to shape our environmental future. 

Environmental engineering is your pathway to protecting the natural environment and its resources by ensuring that we minimise the adverse effect we may have on it. 

In this program, you will develop an understanding of complex environmental problems and issues and the challenges facing ecological sustainability. 

You will learn to design creative engineering solutions and manage critical projects associated with environmental protection in solid and hazardous waste management, air quality monitoring and control, water and wastewater treatment, and renewable energy. 

You will develop the skills to incorporate sustainability concepts into engineering work practices from various discipline backgrounds.

WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL)

Students currently in employment are strongly encouraged to align their assessment items to the issues and projects related to the workplace. 

However, there is no compulsory element of WIL in the program.

PATHWAYS TO FURTHER STUDY

Students who graduate from the program and pass the Dissertation component will have a pathway to a higher degree through the research study.
