Overview
This course deals with the broad aspects of environmental management relevant to practising professionals in engineering science, planning, architecture, law, surveying, health and building. Engineers, scientists, town planners and other professionals working in this field have a compelling duty to ensure that the adverse effects of development on the total environment are minimised.
Environmental engineering and management is high on the political agenda. It also has a high professional priority. Students develop a background and competence in environmental management.
Course aims
The course aims to develop an awareness and understanding of the human impact on the environment with respect to waste minimisation and water quality management, and the professional skills required to work as part of an integrated team responsible for environmental planning and management.
Career options
This course is of relevance to practising professionals in architecture, building, engineering science, health, law, planning and surveying.
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, science, design, architecture, building, surveying or planning. Provisional admission for graduates from other disciplines is available provided the education contained an adequate introduction to mathematics and physical sciences. Applicants without a degree, but who have a TAFE diploma or equivalent and with suitable work experience, may also apply for this course. All applications are assessed individually.
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
Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.
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
Students who have previously undertaken postgraduate study at a university or other recognised tertiary education institutions may be eligible for some academic credit recognition if the subjects previously completed are deemed by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology to be equivalent to subjects, and relevant to the course applied.
The prior study must have been completed before commencement of this course, but no earlier than 10 years before commencement. Students must be able to demonstrate that their knowledge is current.

Course duration and attendance
The normal attendance pattern, based on two subjects a semester, requires a minimum of one year to complete the course. This degree is also available to full-time, fee-paying international students who complete the degree in one semester.
The block attendance pattern of study currently consists of three sessions a semester, each session involving three full days of attendance. To complete two subjects in a semester, three full days of attendance are required at each session. To complete one subject in a semester, one-and-a-half days of attendance at each session are required. Subjects may also be taken in 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 complete three subjects chosen from a core list of subjects (Group A) and one subject from an electives list (Group B), totalling 24 credit points of study.
