AIMThis programme is designed for graduates in specialist areas of engineering and science, who wish to develop their intellectual, practical and professional skills in the critical acquisition, analysis, interpretation and understanding of environmental engineering principles and issues. It involves staff mainly from the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences with contributions from external professionals across the environmental engineering industry.

Entry RequirementsA 2.2 Honours degree or above or equivalent recognised qualification in a relevant Engineering/Science discipline (eg Civil Engineering, Geology) with sufficient mathematical background (at least A-level, although undergraduate courses with a high mathematical content, eg statistics, can be acceptable). A 2.1 Honours degree or above is required for those with an insufficient mathematical background.

Programme ContentAs well as compulsory and optional modules, the programme includes a research project which leads to a report (PG Diploma) or thesis (MSc) submission.
