Environmental Engineering

In the Environmental Engineering programme, you learn about environmental problems and about sustainable social developments both on a national and international level. You will learn, for example, how to analyse and prepare projects that can solve environmental problems within, for example, drainage, water treatment facilities, waste handling and water supplies.

You will learn to evaluate the scientific principles for how you generally, but also technically plan solutions to environmental issues.

The programme has three study lines:

• Environmental technology: The focus is on the design of environmental plants and systems based on the understanding of the physical, chemical and microbial process
• Water resources: The focus is on quantitative and qualitative aspects and engineering methods for managing water resources
• Environmental management: Focus is on managing environmental, health and resource issues especially in relation to industry, developing countries and society's consumption of chemicals

Teaching varies between lectures and classroom instruction. In addition, there is often project work together with other students. Students are encouraged to participate in class discussions.

The final 6 months you will be writing your MSc thesis. The thesis is a scientific research project, often carried out in collaboration with one of the university's industrial partners.

Environmental Engineering can be studied as a:

• 2-year MSc programme (120 ECTS)

You also have the possibility to take single courses or subjects within the programme.

If you choose to complete the master's degree programme, you will graduate with the academic title of Master of Science in Engineering (MSc).

Educational Institutions

You can study Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (Danmarks Tekniske Universitet) in Lyngby.
