Study Details: MSc 2 years full-time, 120 ECTS
Do you want to participate in the development of new processes and technology, which can form the base for sustainable energy production and resource management?
Is it your dream to work towards an environment where health is a key issue?
Are you interested in solving the environmental challenges that we are already facing?
And do you think it is fun to work with different issues in an interdisciplinary manner?
If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then you should enrol in the Environmental Engineering Programme at Aalborg University.
As a graduate student in the Environmental Engineering Programme you will work with projects from different areas of environmental engineering, for example climate-friendly energy production, sustainable agricultural or industrial production, or development of new and innovative technology for preventing soil, air or water contamination.
It is a very cross disciplinary programme where you use your knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology and microbiology to investigate and solve environmental challenges in cities, industry, agriculture and nature.
You can for instance work with energy from biomass and waste, biological air cleaning in industry and animal farming, methods for rapid detection of bacteria in drinking water, biological methods for assessment of water quality in rivers and lakes or improvement of indoor climate in buildings at contaminated soil sites.
You will learn both to prevent and to solve a wide range of environmental problems.
We provide you with the competences and tools that you will need to actively participate in the development of our society in a sustainable direction.
A Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent in Environmental engineering, environmental science, environmental planning, environmental biotechnology or similar programme.
Please make sure you send your application form and further documentation via post to the International Office by the required deadline.
Furthermore please note the official language requirements for international students applying to Aalborg University are:
IELTS (academic test): 6.5
TOEFL (paper-based): 550
TOEFL (computer-based): 230
TOEFL (internet-based): 80
Cambridge ESOL: C1
For further information regarding deadlines and requirements please see the website How to apply to Aalborg University
Students from outside EU/EEA please see http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-postgraduate/tuition-fee/
Our graduate programme consists of four semesters:
Solid waste management and contaminated soil engineering. You will work with energy and material recovery from waste aiming at reduced greenhouse gas emissions and advanced methods for assessing and remediating soil contamination as well as improving indoor climate in buildings on contaminated land.
Wastewater treatment design and surface water (lakes, streams and coastal) quality. You will learn to design and optimise wastewater treatment with respect to both treatment quality and energy efficiency, or you can work with advanced methods for assessing and improving the quality of surface water bodies
Students choice of topic (possibility of starting thesis work for 1 year theses). On this semester you are free to choose a topic to your liking possibly in collaboration with your supervisor.
Thesis work. Here you may continue your work from the previous semester, or you may choose a different topic.
You can choose to follow all four semesters or one or two of the first three semesters. In order to get the Master Degree, it is required that you follow all four semesters.
