Masters Degree Description

MSc Environmental Engineering is closely aligned with industry’s demands, this course meets the needs of:

urban regeneration
land contamination management
environmental protection
infrastructure investment portfolios in Scotland and worldwide
A distinctive feature of this course is its topical nature. Glasgow has been undergoing extensive urban regeneration, including building on land that's been contaminated in the past. You’ll have challenging 'real world' issues to study close to the University. From this experience, you'll become able to translate the principles of environmental engineering that you have learned into national and international context.

Entry Requirements

Normally a first-class or second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in engineering, earth sciences, environmental management, or a background in the chemical, physical, biological or mathematical sciences.

Lower degree classifications may be considered if there is strength elsewhere (for example, relevant work experience, excellent final project/dissertation, very strong academic letter of reference, very strong application statement linking with career goals).

You’ll need two supportive academic references and/or appropriate professional experience or achievements.
