Level 3 and 4

From level 3, the course is divided into three streams: 1. Environmental process engineering; 2. Water and land management; 3. Transport and the built environment. The student must choose either one major or two minor elective streams, taking core units at each level as well as stream core and stream elective units from their chosen stream(s). Stream electives units are divided into two groups: A and B. A major stream comprises a minimum of 16 credit points from group A and a minimum of 6 credit points from group B (total 22 credit points for Environmental process engineering, 26 credit points for Water and land management, and Transport and the built environment); a minor comprises 22 to 26 credit points from two elective streams in a combination approved by the course director. Students' choice of electives must be approved by the director of Environmental Engineering.
