Stream Outline
Effective and sustainable water and wastewater treatment and environmentally responsible waste management are crucial for urban populations. For engineers and other professionals interested in expanding their knowledge and skills, our programs cover current and future technologies for water usage, wastewater treatment and waste disposal.
This specialisation provides students with advanced study options in Water, Wastewater and Waste Engineering. It is designed to develop skills in analysis and design of water, wastewater and waste treatment facilities. It is ideally suited for both practising engineers and recent graduates planning a career in water, wastewater and waste engineering.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Students need a recognised four year Bachelor degree in engineering with a minimum 65% average*.
Other disciplines may be considered for entry as determined by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
* NOTE: Minimum 65% average is determined by the UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator. Students from a non-211 university in China need a minimum 70% average. For entry details (particularly for South Asian students) please click here.
