MSc Environmental Systems Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time, 5 years flexible

Masters Degree Description

Address global challenges in environmental sustainability on this unique one-year MSc at UCL. Join us to explore complex environmental issues and technological systems through the lens of systems engineering and gain the expertise to advance your career in this rapidly-growing and critical field.

As global populations grow and the demand for better living standards and a move to a circular economy increases, the need for environmental systems engineers is rising. This Master's will equip you with the tools you need to succeed.

This comprehensive course offers the theoretical underpinnings of environmental engineering, to hands-on project-based experience with an industrial client. 

You'll cover a range of topics, including policy, urban water systems, water resource management, green infrastructure, waste management, decarbonisation, hydraulics and hydrology, and more – to examine the complex interactions between the natural environment, people, processes, and technologies. 

You’ll learn all about the decisions engineers need to make from sustainable and environmental engineering points of view, so you can design holistic engineering projects and technological systems that can help the world to reverse climate change, and move to Net Zero. 

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in a cognate subject or related discipline or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is usually required. Extensive work experience covering related areas will be considered.
