The discipline of Environmental Systems Engineering is growing rapidly with an international demand for multi-skilled professionals who can take an integrated approach to solving complex environmental problems. This programme aims to produce graduates who can provide sustainable solutions that will be useful to all members of affected communities and industries. What and how will I learn? The programme examines the relationships between the environment, people, processes and technologies, allowing for the holistic management of environmental systems and technologies to achieve sustainable outcomes. Students develop an understanding of systems thinking and systems engineering, and can evaluate their validity and usefulness in the analysis of complex environmental problems. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of four core courses (60 credits), two options (30 credits), a group project (30 credits) and a research dissertation (60 credits). Core Modules Environmental Systems Systems Engineering and Management Systems Society and Sustainability Research Methods in Civil and Environmental Engineering Dissertationreport All MSc students undertake an independent research project addressing a problem of systems research, design or analysis, which culminates in a dissertation of 10,000-15,000 words. Options OPTIONS MAY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: Urban Flooding and Drainage Environmental Fluid Mechanics Energy Management and the Control of Noise Hydrogeology and Groundwater Resources Coastal Engineering Social Dimensions of Sustainability Energy Systems Modelling Science and Politics of Climate Change Environmental Masterplanning Water & Wastewater Treatment Finite Element Modelling & Numerical Methods Advanced Building Simulation Energy Systems & Sustainability Further details available on subject website: www2.cege.ucl.ac.ukstudentspostgraduateenvmsc The programme is delivered through lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory classes and projects. The individual and group projects in the Synthesis element involve interaction with industrial partners, giving students real life experience and contacts for the future. Assessment is through written examination, coursework, presentations, and group and individual projects. Why should I study this degree at UCL? The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering is an energetic and exciting environment in which to explore Environmental Systems Engineering. Students have the advantages of studying in a multi-faculty college with a long tradition of excellence in teaching and research, situated within the heart of one of the world's greatest cities. The Environmental Systems Engineering MSc presents environmental issues and technologies within a framework of systems engineering, bringing together the two disciplines to devise and implement solutions which manage interrelated elements of the environment, industry and society to work towards the goal of sustainable development. Your future career Career paths for environmental engineers are diverse, expanding and challenging, with the pressures of increasing population, desires for improved standards of living and the need to protect the environmental systems, providing local and international opportunities. Such opportunities are readily identified in all areas of industry, in government planning and regulatory control, with regional and municipal authorities, consultants and contracting engineers, research and development organisations, and in education and technology transfer. Entry Requirements A minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor's degree in engineering, environmental science or another relevant discipline or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is usually required. All other degrees and non-degree holders with relevant professional experience will be considered. How to apply Students are advised to apply as early as possible due to competition for p
