The Environmental Engineering Postgraduate Diploma at Queen's University Belfast equips you to address critical environmental challenges at the interface of the natural and built environments. You will gain a deep technical understanding of how human activities impact ecosystems, and vice versa, developing practical skills in characterisation, monitoring, and solution-finding. This programme is ideal for graduates seeking to specialise in environmental assessment, water and waste management, or climate change mitigation, providing a strong foundation for advanced study or professional practice in environmental engineering.
This full-time, on-campus Postgraduate Diploma is studied over one year, with compulsory core modules in Land & Water Quality, Engineering Hydrology & Hydrogeology, Assessment of Environmental Impacts, and Computer Modelling of Contaminants. You will also select elective modules to tailor your studies, such as GIS & Spatial Analysis or Water and Waste Water Treatment. The programme culminates in a significant research project, allowing you to apply your learning to a real-world problem. You will graduate with the expertise to pursue roles in environmental consultancy, regulatory bodies, or further postgraduate research.
