Program Overview

Environmental Engineering is that branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles for the protection and improvement of the environmental quality of the world in which we live. Environmental Engineers work on issues of sustainability, provide safe and secure drinking water, collect, treat and properly dispose of wastewater and other wastes, design flood protection measures, maintain or improve air and noise quality, design sustainable urban drainage systems, clean up contaminated land and groundwater, and help communities and industry minimise pollution, among many other activities. It is most commonly a distinct and specialist engineering discipline within the Civil Engineering profession and it is in this context that this course has been developed.

Entry Requirement
For admission to a programme, standard applicants must
- score the necessary CAO points and
- meet the minimum entry requirements
- Leaving Certificate in five subjects i.e. Grade O6 or H7 in five subjects. The five subjects must include Mathematics, and either English or Irish.
  
  Info re MTU Cork Mathematics Exam only
  
  Some students who apply to MTU Cork courses may not achieve the required entry standard in Mathematics through the Leaving Certificate. For such applicants, MTU Cork offers a second chance to reach the required entry standard through a MTU Cork Mathematics Exam. This second chance facility allows applicants (depending on their results in the MTU Cork Mathematics Examination) to gain entry to courses with an Ordinary Leaving Certificate Mathematics entry standard, and (with a higher level of performance) courses with a Higher Leaving Certificate entry standard.
  
  Leaving Cert Subjects:
- Helpful subjects are Mathematics, English, and Physics.
IELTS (Academic)

L1: At least 6.0 with no section below 5.5

TOEFL

L1: At least 80 - with minimum scores: Listening- 17; Reading - 18; Speaking – 20; Writing - 17
Fees & Scholarships
The fees for Environmental Engineering (BEng Level 7) may vary from - €10,000 to €25,000 anually for tuition fees. The fee's prices may get higher for international students.
Career Prospect
An undergraduate education in engineering provides a very good platform not only for a career and/or further education in engineering but potentially for a much wider spectrum of employment opportunities. Graduates of this programme will have developed skills in a broad range of civil engineering disciplines but will have developed particular expertise in environmental engineering.

As a result of increased environmental awareness and of significant developments in environmental legislation and quality assurance requirements; career opportunities in the environmental engineering industry have grown significantly in recent years.
