Ready to take Environmental Engineering to the next level? This is what Sustainable Systems Engineering and industrial ecology is all about. This new discipline examines how engineers discover holistic and effective Sustainable Systems solutions to unsustainable practices in the modern world. This program enables students to specialise and gain a deeper knowledge across a broad range of disciplines, including Sustainable Systems Engineering, industrial ecology, sustainability and environmental sciences, and sustainability management. Core subjects are coupled with a choice of electives from several UNSW faculties. The Master of Engineering Science promotes flexible learning as a keystone of the program – it is designed for students who already have a four year accredited engineering degree and who now wish to broaden their job prospects through cross training, re-training or specialisation. This program takes two years to complete (students may be granted credit for some courses. Those with a degree or extensive professional experience in a related area can apply for credit of up to 50% of a program); it is a non-accredited program, and does not offer industrial training. The typical program structure comprises sixteen courses, broken down into: four Disciplinary Knowledge Courses, five Advanced Disciplinary Courses, three Research Courses and four Electives.
