Environmental engineering assesses and mitigates pollution for the benefit of human health and the environment. It brings together many disciplines. It requires an understanding of:

  • biology
  • chemistry
  • physics
  • engineering
  • socio-economics
  • legislation
We work towards the sustainable provision of clean air, land, and water. By pursuing research in the School of Engineering, you'll join a successful research group. Our focus is on environmental civil engineering. Our mission is to foster, promote and conduct research of international quality. We attract high-quality graduates and researchers and train them to international standards.

This research programme is ideal if you are enthusiastic about environmental engineering research. Our main research themes in environmental engineering are:

  • engineered biological systems
  • manipulation of the fate of micro-pollutants
  • pollutant sequestration
  • bioremediation
  • risk assessment
  • sanitation and low-cost water supplies for developing countries
  • waste stabilisation ponds
  • constructed wetlands
  • minewater treatment
  • carbon neutral initiatives
  • geothermal energy
We offer MPhil and PhD supervision in the following research areas:

  • anaerobic digestion
  • manipulation of the fate of micro-pollutants
  • pollutant sequestration
  • bioremediation
  • risk assessment
  • sanitation and low-cost water supplies for developing countries
  • waste stabilisation ponds
  • constructed wetlands
  • minewater treatment
  • carbon neutral initiatives
  • geothermal energy
Our microbiological research has a strong emphasis on understanding the engineering biological processes. We use ecological theory, underpinned by exploration of molecular techniques. For example:

  • fluorescent in situ hybridisation
  • quantitative PCR
  • denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis
We have extensive contacts in the UK and overseas. This enables research to be carried out in collaboration with industry and government agencies. Research projects are supervised by staff with a wide range of industrial and academic experience.
