Bachelor in Environmental Science (final year)
Solving problems with technological inventions and innovative cleaner production processes is the core business of an Environmental Engineer. Every engineer knows however that environmental technology alone shall not bring us a sustainable future.
In our final-year programme we therefore teach technology students to work with environmental managers, civil engineers, ecologist, urban planners and other disciplines to solve environmental quality problems together. The foundation for the environmental engineer is his/her understanding of the applicability of different kinds of environmental technology.
Examples include technology from the Netherlands, several countries in Europe and main international achievements. The environmental technology industry in the Netherlands comprises advanced and cost-effective technologies, such as small-scale air purification, drinking water production, wastewater treatment, household waste processing, soil decontamination, and ground water purification.
The challenge for Environmental Engineering is to work with natural processes (green technology) to achieve a clean and healthy environment.
Our graduates find employment in several working areas that contribute to our sustainable future:
- Dutch and International consultancies that participate in, supervise or carry out environmental projects
- Contractors involved in remediation and sanitation projects
- Industries
- Environmental agencies
- Non-governmental organisations, These institutions often operate at, national, international or global level
- Governmental organisations and water authorities
