Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours)

Environmental engineering. Be part of the solution. We train environmental engineers capable of solving the world's biggest challenges. As an environmental engineer, you might help with the adaptation of infrastructure and ecosystems to climate change. Or you could rehabilitate land damaged by mining. You might work on the clean-up of an oil spill that threatens ecosystems.

What is environmental engineering? Environmental engineers combine knowledge of chemistry, geomechanics, hydrology and land surface processes. By studying courses in environmental engineering and related fields, they learn to develop sustainable engineering practices. Engineers use their knowledge to find solutions to complex environmental problems like water pollution and soil erosion. Environmental engineers have a profound impact on our health and quality of life. Our environmental engineers learn to work with other specialists. This ensures that they can optimise resource use and minimise long-term impacts on the environment. Develop workplace skills through Professional Practice Courses and diversify skills through four Elective Pathway Courses.
