Program Overview

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the study of the environment, including water technology, environmental technology, and bioresources. As an environmental engineer, graduates can help solve environmental challenges such as floods, water shortages, chemical substances in the environment, sustainable water supplies, reuse of resources, energy from biomass, and adaptation to climate change.

What will you learn?

The program gives students a wide range of engineering competences that will equip them to find sustainable solutions to concrete environmental problems in Denmark and the rest of the world. Environmental engineering students work with experiments in the laboratory, environmental engineering plants, measurements in nature, and measurement data from satellites. Mathematical models are used to assess how complex environmental engineering systems function and will react to climate change.

Study Programme Structure

The program builds on students' knowledge from senior high school in subjects such as chemistry, natural geography, biotechnology, mathematics, and physics, combined with environmental technology subjects like the environment and sustainability, climate change, geology, hydrology, microbiology, and environmental engineering processes. The teaching is varied and consists of work in large and small groups, business-relevant project work, assignments, lab exercises, and opportunities for field work. Since the environment is a global field, it is recommended that semester 5 be taken abroad.

Career Opportunities

After two years of further study, graduates will earn a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering and can find employment in engineering companies, municipalities, or universities. Example work areas include rehabilitating contaminated lakes and treating drinking water. Graduates can also work with supplying knowledge directly to decision-makers in Denmark or the EU, thereby influencing environmental regulation. Possible career paths include researcher, civil servant, self-employed person, or employee of an environmental organization.
