With an engineering degree from the University of Southern Denmark you will have a strong academic and professional profile based on highly competent teachers and fellow students who are skilled, curious and committed to their studies. Moreover, you will be part of a research and development environment of high international standard. That is how we ensure that you get the most recent knowledge and ability to be right up there in the lead should you choose to study or work abroad.

Students acquire:

• ability to solve specific problems alone or in teams
• ability to manage a project from beginning to end
• ability to work independently as well as in teams
• ability to define, formulate and analyse a problem.

Students are:

• used to working with companies and will have a thorough understanding of business.

Apart from acquiring general competencies, the students must be able to solve complex technical problems and to design and implement complex technological products and systems in a social context. For engineers in environmental technology, this means that they must:

• be able to develop , design, plan , modify and optimize process plants, especially waste sorting and treatment plants and, industrial wastewater treatment plants.
• determine and optimize products, processes and production based on the particular resource and environmental considerations.
• be able to carry out advisory and consultancy services by having the specific competencies offered in the field of education: System Analysis (Life Cycle assessment (LCA)), power system optimization, Cleantech (cleaner technologies) in relation to products and processes and Waste Planning and optimization of resource utilization in the community perspective.

With a master of science in engineering degree in Environmental Engineering you will have the following competencies:

• Ability to take part in the company’s environmental work and contribute specialist knowledge to the company’s development of environmentally efficient products and processes
• Ability to take part in the public inspection and regulation of environmental factors
• Ability to dimension, plan and advise on sewerage, soil, water and waste on a scientific basis
• Ability analyse and assess environmentally related problems by means of research-based methods and techniques
• Ability to conduct system description/mapping, analysis/assessment, setting priorities, synthesis, communication and management in respect of environmental factors
• Knowledge on a par with the highest level of international research within one or more academic fields covered by the study programme’s subject columns
• Ability to identify scientific problems within academic fields covered by the study programme’s subject columns.

With a master of science in engineering degree you will be qualified to apply for and study a PhD programme.
