Environmental engineering, which is often paired with civil engineering, is focused on the environmental aspects of engineering projects' design, planning and management. Studying this course will make you aware of the environmental factors, challenges and considerations involved in engineering and building, as well as how to manage these challenges. You’ll learn about environmental factors like surface water, soil, waste and pollution, as well as how to assess the environmental impact and management of engineering projects. Lots of environmental engineering courses include practical elements like fieldwork, site visits, industry-run projects and placement years. Graduates can go into a variety of career paths, such as project management, environmental engineering, health and safety and consultancy.
