Master of Engineering Science (Environmental Engineering)
If you want to become a Professional Environmental Engineer, and have a 3 year engineering degree but no work experience, USQ’s Master of Engineering Science (Environmental Engineering) will get you there.
Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience and preparing you thoroughly for the engineering profession. In addition to the hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, you will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is the cleaning of contaminated industrial land or waste treatment and recycling, your project will provide insight to the profession of an Environmental Engineer.
The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
Career outcomes
As an environmental engineering graduate you may like to specialise your career within mining, industry or civil engineering projects. You will often collaborate with other professionals on projects and there are great opportunities for travel with consulting and contracting engineers often moving from one major project to another.
Professional recognition
Through the Master of Engineering Science (Environmental Engineering), you will gain the eligibility to apply for graduate membership as a Professional Engineer with Engineers Australia. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Africa.
