Stream Outline
Environmental engineering is concerned with the safe, ecological, sustainable and ethical development of urban infrastructure. This discipline is for those who want to move their engineering career in the direction of environmental engineering or gain formal qualifications.
This specialisation provides students with advanced study options in Environmental Engineering. It is designed to develop skills in analysis and design of sustainable urban infrastructure. It is ideally suited for both practising engineers and recent graduates planning a career in environmental engineering.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Students need a recognised four year Bachelor degree in engineering with a minimum 65% average*.
Other engineering disciplines or a Bachelor of Environmental Science or other Science backgrounds 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.
