Overview
This course is designed to enable engineers and other technical specialists to take a leadership role in the field of environmental engineering.
The course combines a set of key subjects that contain information on the nature of environmental problems together with engineering techniques for their solution. This is supplemented by management and policy subjects to empower the engineer, or technical specialist, to lead multidisciplinary teams working in the field of environmental engineering.
Career options
Career options include positions in government agencies or private corporations, or as consultants.
Admission requirements
Normally, a degree in engineering or another technological/applied science field is required. Candidates without a degree, but with suitable experience, may enrol in the Graduate Certificate in Environmental Engineering Management (C11051) and later transfer to the Master of Environmental Engineering Management with full credit for completed subjects.
Recognition of prior learning
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is considered in accordance with the University policy on RPL (www.gsu.uts.edu.au/policies/priorlearning.html). The maximum amount of RPL granted is 24 credit points if articulating from a graduate certificate course, 18 credit points for UTS Bachelor of Engineering graduates and 12 credit points for all other students (without exception).
Course duration and attendance
Most students taking two subjects per semester require two years to complete this degree. The course is also available to fee-paying overseas students on a full-time basis, taking one year to complete.
The program is structured for evening attendance, block attendance or distance mode. Subjects are offered as three-hour sessions once per week, or in block or distance mode.
Course structure
Students are required to complete 48 credit points of study, comprising 36 credit points from the core subjects and 12 credit points from 49001, 49002, 49003 or 49108.
