Undergraduate Chemical and Engineering student working with a Heat and mass balance around recycle loop

Environmental Engineering including an Industrial Year BEng

University Park Campus, Nottingham, UK

Course overview

As our populations grow, we need to produce new things smarter, safer and cleaner whilst protecting our natural resources. Through your commitment to a more sustainable future, you will work towards managing and reducing waste to minimise pollution. As an environmental engineer, you will be passionate about protecting, restoring and preserving the planet.

Environmental engineers design processes and products that minimise impacts on air, land and water, whilst making the most of finite natural resources.
