The Master of Environmental Engineering and Pollution Control at Griffith University is for graduates and professionals interested in tackling issues such as water quality, waste management, air pollution, and sustainable engineering solutions. Over two years of full-time study, students complete a structured sequence of units of study, each carrying Australian credit points that contribute towards the completion of the degree. The programme often includes a combination of coursework and practical projects, ensuring students have both theoretical background and practical understanding of environmental challenges in Australia.
Students learn about environmental systems, engineering principles applied to pollution control, risk assessment, and management practices relevant to Australia's regulatory frameworks. Opportunities may exist for work-integrated learning, where students can apply their knowledge in workplace settings, often through placements with engineering firms, consulting companies, or government agencies working in environmental protection and infrastructure. The final stages typically involve a capstone project or research thesis, giving students a chance to investigate a real-world problem, often with guidance from industry or academic supervisors.
This degree suits those with prior qualifications in engineering or the sciences who want to build both technical and project-based skills. Students develop expertise in the technical, regulatory, and sustainability aspects of environmental engineering, which is highly valued in the Australian context due to its unique ecosystems and regulatory environment. International students have up to 48 hours per fortnight of work rights while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation to seek further experience in Australia.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$93,000 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
