Overview

Through the Engineering (Environmental) (Honours) course from Adelaide University you will learn how concepts drawn together from engineering, chemistry, maths and environmental science can be harnessed to address complex issues. From water and air pollution control to waste management, climate change mitigation and ecosystem restoration. Examine the connections between infrastructure, environment, society and economy in developed and developing nations.

Electives enable you to dive deeper into the areas that interest you – whether that’s electrical and electronic systems, geology and surveying, engineering mechanics or something else entirely.

Gain hands-on experience in industry environments through up to 12 weeks of professional placement. Under the guidance of experienced engineers, you'll apply your knowledge to real-world challenges. Additionally, you'll tackle a comprehensive research and design project, helping you bridge the gap between theory and industry applications.

Emerge with the knowledge, expertise and qualifications necessary to practice as an environmental engineer – and tackle environmental challenges head on.

Career opportunities:

Graduates of this degree will qualify to work as environmental engineers. With their versatile and holistic skillset, environmental engineers enjoy dynamic careers across a variety of industry sectors – from environmental remediation, construction, marine and coastal management to consultancy and public health.

You could specialise in designing climate-resilient infrastructure – like buildings and bridges – that can withstand extreme weather events. Maybe you’ll pioneer new and innovative methods for recycling waste materials to create valuable products and, in turn, minimise industrial waste. Or perhaps you’ll undertake breakthrough work in environmental restoration, helping rehabilitate ecosystems to support endangered species.
