Effective and sustainable water and wastewater treatment are crucial for urban populations, as is environmentally responsible waste management. For engineers and other professionals interested in expanding their knowledge and skills, our programs cover current and future technologies for water usage, wastewater treatment and waste disposal. This specialisation provides technical professionals with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of current practices in this field and to engage with existing and future technologies. 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.
