Why combine Environmental Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences?

Environmental engineers work to combat the negative impacts of human activity on the environment. They reduce waste, promote eco-design and strive to improve our environmental systems.

With maths and computer science underpinning the high technology developments in this field, specialised expertise offers huge benefits.

What will you do?

Build technical skills for tackling problems around water, energy, food, pollution, waste, and natural hazards.

Discover the connections between infrastructure, environment, society, and economy in the developed and developing world.

Gain fundamental statistical and mathematical knowledge.

Study complex computer systems and theories.

Complete an eight-week practical engineering experience.

Apply your learning to real-world projects based on industry needs.

This is a 5-year double, not combined degree. You’ll graduate with two separate parchments, a greater scope of career prospects and a competitive edge in the job market.

Career Readiness

The employment outlook for environmental engineers is excellent. Global concern is rising about water resources, energy, food security, pollution, waste, natural hazards and climate change. New industries are emerging in response to these challenges, focused on developing sustainable solutions. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Environmental and Climate Solutions) prepares graduates for careers across a range of fields, including: water resources; energy; recycling; pollution; natural hazards; transport; natural resources; infrastructure; defence; and information technology. Opportunities are likely within multinational companies, engineering consulting firms, government departments, water authorities, and research organisations.

The Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences prepares graduates for a wide variety of industries. Recent graduates have been employed by organisations such as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), United Water, Santos, the Bureau of Meteorology and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Additionally, graduates find work in consulting engineering firms, the pharmaceutical industry, the telecommunications industry, biomedical research industries and institutes, banks and insurance companies, state and federal government agencies, and research and academic organisations all over the world.
