Aims and Characteristics
Programme Aims
The programme provides EITHER (1) studies of a conversion nature for graduates without formal environmental qualifications who are working or who would like to work in the environmental protection field OR (2) studies of an in-depth nature for graduates who already possess a Bachelor's qualification in environmental science or engineering.
The programme provides students with engineering and management knowledge to tackle environmental engineering problems in the field of construction and industrial and infrastructure development and to confront challenges related to sustainable development and the achievement of carbon neutrality.
Characteristics
This programme, which offers both in-depth and conversion study, is suitable for both graduates and professionals with previous qualifications who wish to gain advanced knowledge of environmental engineering and management or to diversify their expertise into the environmental fields. It allows students the flexibility to choose environmental engineering, environmental management and carbon neutrality subjects to build up their knowledge in line with their specific needs.
