Why study environmental engineering/science at UoN?

Studying the combined degree Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) /Bachelor of Science will qualify you with two degrees after just five years of full-time study.

Taught by staff who are part of one of the leading research groups in Australia, the degree provides you with a world class education specialising in water engineering and science.

This combined degree gives you the basic skills and knowledge to contribute to scientific development in many areas of technology, industry or agriculture whilst also equipping you to apply engineering principles to the problems of human interaction with the environment.

It can be a foundation for a career in the vast field of science, or an excellent general education providing skills in problem solving and research particularly in fields where projects are environmentally sensitive.

Opportunities for graduates of this combined degree are extremely diverse and may include work in:

• laboratories and research institutes
• government or industry in fields related to technology
• production
• environment
• agriculture
• minerals and resources
• planning agencies.

Or as consultants preparing environmental impact assessments for major projects, in critical analysis of these assessments and increasingly in the early stages of project development.

Benefits of a combined degree

A combined degree means that you can achieve two qualifications in one go. You will have the advantage of graduating with two degrees, in less time than it would take to complete them separately.

For example, if you are interested in both arts and science, you can complete the requirements for both degrees by choosing the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science. After four years of full time study, you will graduate with two degree qualifications. Study them separately and it can take you up to six years full-time.

A combined degree will increase your career options, skills and knowledge, enhancing your academic and professional qualities, making you more desirable to employers. You will have more variety in your studies and satisfy more than one of your interests – you may be keen on drama and biology, this way you can study both.

There are some special requirements with combined degrees. Students must undertake a program of study that incorporates the requirements for each individual degree.
