A Doctor of Environmental Engineering (PhD or a similar designation) is a degree that involves advanced study focused on developing sustainable solutions to preserve health and protect the environment. This includes comprehensive coursework, original research in both the laboratory and the field, as well as the writing of a thesis on topics such as pollution control, water and waste management, and the effects of climate change. This program typically lasts four to five years, starting with a master’s degree, and prepares graduates for leadership positions in academia or industry, tackling complex challenges related to water, air, waste, and energy.
Once you complete this program, you will be prepared for a career in sectors such as:
• Environmental engineering at all levels of government, NGOs, consulting, or manufacturing and extractive industries, locally and internationally.
• Sustainability planning and design
• Environmental policy-making
• Infrastructure design, management systems, and information systems.
• Conducting impact assessments (covering regulatory, sustainability, environmental, social, and risk assessments)
