About the programme
This Environmental Engineering programme from the University of Cyprus is unique in Cyprus, in that it offers a multi-disciplinary focus on environmental protection and management in a changing world.
This Environmental Engineering programme from the University of Cyprus 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 wellbeing. 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 nexus.
Environmental Engineering Master students are, therefore, introduced and trained 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.
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Graduates of the Environmental Engineering Master’s Programme can be employed as engineers, consultants and researchers, working in design, construction, operations and management, and impact assessment and maintenance projects. Areas of employment include, the atmospheric and wider environmental pollution, waste treatment and management, water and coastal engineering, and the energy sectors. Examples of employers of past students and other potential employers include:
