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
Applicants must have completed a UTS recognised bachelor's degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.
Previous qualifications must be in engineering or another technological/applied science field. 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.
The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 58-66

International students
Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.
Credit recognition
Credit recognition is considered in accordance with the University's policy on credit recognition:
www.gsu.uts.edu.au/policies/credit-recognition.html
Students may be eligible for credit recognition based on previous postgraduate award study. Subjects undertaken as part of an undergraduate degree, irrespective of their level of study, are not normally considered for credit recognition.
Students who have completed postgraduate subjects as part of a postgraduate degree may be eligible for credit recognition of up to 12 credit points (two subjects) towards an engineering master's degree.
Students who have previously completed subjects at UTS that are part of the postgraduate degree to which they are admitted, may be eligible for credit recognition of up to 18 credit points (three subjects) towards an engineering masters' degree.
Students who have previously completed subjects as part of a UTS Engineering graduate certificate may be eligible for credit recognition of up to 24 credit points (four subjects) towards equivalent subjects in an engineering master's degree.

Course duration and attendance
Most students taking two subjects a 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 a week, or in block or distance mode.
Students who want to undertake the course in distance mode may have to follow a restricted course structure as not all subjects are offered in 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.
