MEng Hons Environmental Engineering

The University of Nottingham offers a MEng (Hons) Environmental Engineering program, structured over four years. This degree is designed to equip students with a deep understanding of environmental systems, sustainable engineering solutions, and the technologies needed to tackle global environmental challenges. The course balances theoretical foundations, practical application, and research skills, preparing graduates for careers in environmental consultancy, infrastructure development, and sustainability-focused industries.

Curriculum Structure:
The MEng (Hons) Environmental Engineering program at Nottingham combines rigorous academic learning with hands-on experience:

Year 1:
Students develop a solid foundation in core engineering principles, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry, alongside introductory modules in environmental science. This year emphasizes the fundamentals required to tackle complex environmental engineering problems.

Year 2:
The second year introduces specialized environmental engineering modules, covering topics such as water and wastewater management, air quality, and environmental impact assessment. Students also engage in laboratory work and design exercises to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings.

Year 3:
Students deepen their expertise through advanced subjects in sustainable infrastructure, pollution control, and environmental management systems. Group projects, fieldwork, and case studies allow students to develop critical problem-solving and project management skills.

Year 4 (MEng Integration):
The final year focuses on integrated design projects and independent research, enabling students to synthesize their learning and apply it to real-world environmental engineering challenges. A capstone project allows students to demonstrate their technical, analytical, and communication skills in a professional context.

Accreditation:
The program is accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and Engineering Council UK, ensuring graduates meet professional standards required for chartered status in environmental engineering.

Campus Location:
The University of Nottingham’s Jubilee Campus provides students with access to state-of-the-art laboratories, environmental simulation facilities, and collaborative workspaces to enhance learning and research opportunities.
