The University of Western Australia

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental Engineering)

Make a positive impact to our world as an environmental engineer, applying your understanding of natural systems and technical engineering skills to find creative solutions to pressures facing our environment and sustainable development. In the Environmental Engineering major, you’ll gain a thorough understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world and how we can apply engineering practice to assess and manage the effects of human and other activity on the natural and built environment.

The growing need for environmental protection has created high demand for professional environmental engineers. You’ll gain detailed knowledge on environmental management and design, environmental risk assessment, ecological engineering and design, environmental modelling, oceanography, contaminant fate and transport, hydrology, environmental fluid mechanics and more. A strong emphasis is placed on developing strong analytical and research skills, in particular advanced numerical techniques.

Be guided by world leading academics specialising in oceanography, water engineering, waste management, sustainable engineering and site decontamination.
