Want to design solutions to some of the planet’s most challenging problems?

As populations expand and humanity demands more of our natural resources, environmental engineers work to combat negative impacts of human activities on the environment. They reduce waste, promote eco-design and strive to improve our environmental systems.

Students commencing in July may have a slightly limited selection of courses.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Environmental) will challenge and nurture you in a team environment. You will:

learn about connections between infrastructure, environment, society, and economy in the developed and developing world
build technical skills for tackling complex problems around water, energy, food, pollution, waste, and natural hazards
work with award-winning academics who are global experts in their field
apply your knowledge to real-world projects based on industry needs
complete an eight-week practical experience.

Majors are available in:

Defence systems

Smart technologies

Career Readiness

With global concern about water resources, energy, food, pollution, waste, natural hazards, and climate change on the rise —and the development of new industries focused on developing sustainable solutions—the employment outlook for environmental engineers is excellent.

Students work with industry experts, undertake real-life projects and internships, and develop skills and networks for a successful career.

This degree 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—with multinational companies, engineering consulting firms, government departments, water authorities, and research organisations.

Areas of Specialisation:
