The Master’s Programme in Environmental Engineering is designed to equip its graduates with the expertise, the soft and hard skills necessary to address the ongoing and future environmental challenges threatening the security and resilience of the ecosystem, and the societal well-being. These challenges, aggravated by the changing climate, include, for example, atmospheric and air pollution, deterioration in water quality, urban waste treatment, environmental pollution, erosion of the coastline and decarbonisation of the energy industry. Environmental Engineering students are therefore introduced to the scientific knowledge and state-of-the-art methodologies for understanding atmospheric processes, recycling urban wastes, battling environmental pollution through biotechnology, improving water and air quality in cities, protecting the coastal zone and producing energy from renewable sources. Our students have also the opportunity to focus on aspects related to sustainable development for the built environment, hydrology and hydrogeology. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants for the Programme must hold an undergraduate title of studies in a relevant scientific or engineering topic, from the University of Cyprus or any other accredited University in Cyprus or worldwide.
