Bachelor of Engineering - Environmental

The future presents significant challenges to those responsible for managing the environment, infrastructure and technological developments. Effective solutions to these challenges will require innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies. At the University of Western Sydney, we prepare students to take on those challenges and succeed.

The UWS Engineering Program is all about the application of knowledge to achieve practical outcomes. It covers all major engineering domains, and you can experience many facets of engineering before deciding your area of specialisation at the end of first year.

If you specialise in Environmental Engineering, you will be provided with an essential grounding in ecology, civil engineering and environmental management. Environmental engineers are concerned with ensuring a sustainable and better future for the community by developing and managing systems that integrate with, and protect, our environment.

Part time-study is only available to local students and is generally completed by day classes as there are limited night classes.

A Career in Environmental Engineering

The UWS Engineering Program gives you professional skills and knowledge in specialisations of great demand. As an Environmental Engineer, you could work on designing solutions with a strong emphasis on environmental impact. You may work in private, industrial and mining companies, government departments, city and shire councils.
