The Master of Environmental Engineering at the University of Melbourne is designed for graduates seeking to advance their expertise in creating sustainable solutions for complex environmental challenges. This one-year master’s programme is structured to provide a blend of foundational and advanced knowledge in environmental systems, pollution management, water resources, and sustainable engineering practices tailored to the Australian and global context.
Students enrol in a selection of advanced units of study, accumulating the required credit points through coursework that integrates technical, regulatory, and practical aspects of environmental engineering. The curriculum often includes a capstone project, allowing learners to apply engineering concepts to a real-world environmental problem, potentially in collaboration with industry partners or research organisations in Melbourne’s dynamic environmental and engineering sectors. Work-integrated learning opportunities may be available, supporting direct engagement with current industry issues and practices.
Throughout the programme, students develop analytical and problem-solving skills, technical expertise in environmental systems and processes, and an understanding of regulatory frameworks as applicable in Australia. Graduates become well-equipped to plan and execute projects focused on water and wastewater management, renewable energy, environmental compliance, and remediation, aligning with national and international standards.
This course suits engineering graduates and professionals seeking specialised knowledge for a career or further research in environmental engineering. International students benefit from post-study work opportunities through Australia’s Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), with permission to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study. For entry, international applicants must demonstrate English proficiency, commonly meeting an IELTS Academic overall band of 6.0–6.5 or equivalent, and should check exact requirements on the University of Melbourne’s official pages.
It typically takes 1 year, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
