As the global population grows and demands better living standards, the need for environmental systems engineers is clear. This Master’s will equip you with the tools to succeed in a career that responds to human needs in a time of planetary environmental challenges.


This comprehensive course takes you from the theoretical underpinnings of environmental engineering to hands-on project-based experience with an industrial client. Throughout the course, you will pursue topics in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. You will cover a range of topics, including urban water systems, water resource management, green infrastructure, waste management, circular economy, energy systems, decarbonisation, hydraulics and hydrology, and public policy, and examine the complex interactions between people, technology, and the natural environment. You will also learn about the decisions engineers need to make from a sustainable and environmental engineering point of view, enabling you to design holistic engineering solutions and technological systems that can help the world address climate change and move to net zero emissions.


The course emphasises transferable skills such as problem-solving, management, diplomacy, systems thinking, collaboration, and contextual intelligence. This, coupled with your technical expertise, will make you highly sought after for a career in consulting, research, industry, or the public sector.
