A distinctive feature of this MSc Environmental Engineering at The University of StrathclydeÊis its highly topical nature. Glasgow has been undergoing extensive urban regeneration. This included building on land that's been contaminated in the past. YouÕll have challenging 'real world' issues to study close to the University. From this experience, you'll become able to translate the principles of environmental engineering that you have learned into national and international context.
Closely aligned with industryÕs demands, this course meets the needs of:
- urban regeneration
- land contamination management
- environmental protection
- infrastructure investment portfolios in Scotland and worldwide
YouÕll study
You'll follow a curriculum of five core classes and a wide range of optional classes. Each class is taught for two to three hours per week over eight to 11 weeks.
Following successful completion of the taught component, youÕll undertake a dissertation from June to August. In addition to the dissertation topics proposed by course leaders and industrial partners, you may propose topics that can be of relevance to your future career or your employer.
For part-time study the modules can be taken over two years (attending classes typically one day per week) with the dissertation completed in Years 2 or 3.
Careers
Graduates of the MSc in Environmental Engineering are widely scattered internationally in environmentally related jobs Ð including a large number of environmental and engineering consultancies, industry, local government and national and international regulatory agencies.
The career prospects of graduates are excellent due to the significant skills shortages in the environmental engineering field both in the UK and overseas.
