Environmental Science and Engineering

Overview

Environmental Science and Engineering is a new integrated undergraduate with postgraduate degree course that aims to train the next generation of graduates who have the competencies, knowledge and experience necessary to design and deploy solutions that protect and improve our environment and human wellbeing, and that work with rather than against the natural world to foster biodiversity, climate action and sustainable use of Earth’s finite resources.

Course Structure

Students complete an integrated five-year course consisting of four year B.Sc. plus an additional year of study leading to either Master's in Engineering (Studies) a M.A.I. (St.) or Master's in Applied Environmental Science. During the first three years a balanced and integrated programme of modules in environmental science and engineering is provided.

Fourth Year

In Year 4, students have the option to undertake an Industry Internship or International Exchange in their chosen stream. These options include Erasmus, UNITECH (as a paid industrial partnership) and CLUSTER. Alternatively, a student can stay for the full year in Trinity and undertake a Capstone Project module which aligns with their chosen stream, in addition to at least two optional modules associated with their chosen stream.

Career Opportunities

Graduates from this programme will be highly skilled and employable in both industrial and governmental organisations both here in Ireland as well as overseas. Recent graduates from the Civil Engineering stream who have specialised in Environmental Engineering are working in R&D, civil engineering and environmental consultancies, environmental regulation, energy companies, mining companies as well as setting up new ventures.

Study Abroad

Students who spend the first semester of fourth year in Trinity may then spend the second semester on an industrial placement where they complete an industry-based project. Students following this mode will have two project supervisors: a staff member of the host company, to provide day-to-day guidance whilst on placement as well as liaison with Trinity and a member of Trinity’s academic staff. Alternatively, students who have chosen the Environmental Engineering route may opt to spend the fourth year on the Cluster/Unitech programme in a partner University, or on an Erasmus exchange as per existing M.A.I. (St.).
