Why combine Environmental Engineering with Science?

Environmental engineers work to combat the negative impacts of human activity on the environment. They reduce waste, promote eco-design and strive to improve our environmental systems.

This degree enables an additional, specialised science focus which compliments the core engineering foundations.

What will you do?

Build technical skills for tackling problems around water, energy, food, pollution, waste, and natural hazards.

Discover the connections between infrastructure, environment, society, and economy in the developed and developing world.

Develop knowledge and skills in a science major matched to your interests and career goals.

Complete an eight-week practical engineering experience.

Apply your learning to real-world projects based on industry needs.

This is a 5-year double, not combined degree. You’ll graduate with two separate parchments, a greater scope of career prospects and a competitive edge in the job market.

Career Readiness

The employment outlook for environmental engineers is excellent. Global concern is rising about water resources, energy, food security, pollution, waste, natural hazards and climate change. New industries are emerging in response to these challenges, focused on developing sustainable solutions. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental and Climate Solutions) prepares graduates for careers across a range of fields, including: water resources; energy; recycling; pollution; natural hazards; transport; natural resources; infrastructure; defence; and information technology. Opportunities are likely within multinational companies, engineering consulting firms, government departments, water authorities, and research organisations.
