Environmental Engineering at Swansea University is based on the rationale that environmental engineering is important for all human endeavour and not simply about construction within the environment.

A wide range of rewarding career opportunities exist in both the private and public sectors. This is in a wide range of areas such as waste and water treatment, energy generation, recycling and resource management, as well as in health, safety and environmental agencies. The demand for environmental engineering graduates remains high with excellent starting salaries offered to graduates.
