Level 3 & 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 subjects at each level as well as stream core and stream elective subjects from their chosen stream(s). Stream electives subjects are divided into two groups, A and B. A major stream comprises a minimum of twenty credit points from group A and a minimum of eight credit points from group B (total thirty-two credit points); a minor comprises twelve credit points from group A and four credit points from group B in each of two elective streams (total thirty-two credit points). Students' choice of electives must be approved by the Environmental Engineering Executive Committee.
