The Master of Engineering (Environmental Engineering) at RMIT University focuses on technical and practical skills for tackling environmental challenges through engineering. Students learn about water and wastewater treatment, soil and groundwater remediation, air pollution, and sustainable waste management. The course also covers environmental impact assessment, environmental management systems, and legislation relevant to Australian practice. Project work and laboratory classes reinforce knowledge by putting theory into practice.
This two-year master's degree is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions and group projects. Each unit of study is assigned a set number of credit points, and students must complete a prescribed total for graduation. Professional practice is an important aspect, with opportunities for work-integrated learning or industry projects with Melbourne-based companies and government bodies, preparing students for the realities of the Australian workplace.
Students complete a major project or thesis in their final year, often linked to real-world environmental issues or undertaken in partnership with industry. This capstone experience deepens their skills in independent research, critical analysis, and project management. The programme is a good fit for those who hold an undergraduate degree in engineering or a related field, and want to focus their career on sustainable engineering solutions.
English language support is available, with several test results accepted, and international students must meet RMIT’s published entry requirements. Graduates are eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, and have permission to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study. For details on admission, structure and fees, it's best to confirm on the official page.
It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$88,320 total. Fees change yearly — confirm with an advisor.
