Stream Outline
The stream of Environmental Engineering enables students to specialise, and gain depth of knowledge across a broad range of areas, including project management, transport engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources, waste and waste water treatment.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Entry is open to students with a four year non-accredited (under the Washington Accord) Bachelor of Environmental Engineering degree or equivalent with a minimum 65% average.* Alternatively, eligible applicants include those who hold a three year Engineering Science degree, at least equivalent to the first three years of a relevant Environmental Engineering degree accredited under the Washington Accord.
* 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.
