General information
The MEngSc Water Waste and Environmental Engineering programme prepares graduates to work as professional engineers in the broad field of environmental protection and management. It is the first university level taught masters programme in the Republic of Ireland to focus exclusively on environmental engineering, with a particular emphasis on water. Programme Flyer.
The programme is designed for Irish and international students who already possess a BEng (Honours) degree (240 ECTS) and who wish further qualifications in the growth area of environmental engineering. This degree programme also provides a suitable pathway to meet Engineers Ireland’s educational standard for the title of Chartered Engineer.
Features
- This programme is unique in Ireland.
- Graduates will satisfy Engineers Ireland’s new educational standard for the title of Chartered Engineer.
- The programme is delivered by a School that is highly ranked among leading world universities (108th overall, 68th by scientific citations).
- A culturally diverse group of internationally renowned academic staff deliver the programme.
Programme Highlights
- Consists of core (60 ECTS) and optional (30 ECTS) modules
- Involves lectures, tutorials, assignments, laboratory work, and a major research project
- Includes planning and undertaking independent research, writing a major thesis that describes what was done and what was discovered, and defending the research in an oral examination
Sample modules include:
- Introduction to Water Resources Engineering
- Science and Technology for Sustainable Development
- Environmental Research Project
- Water Waste and Environmental Modelling
- Environmental Impact Assessment
- Quantitative Methods for Engineers
- Advanced Air Pollution
- Systems and Geotechnics
- Unit Treatment Process in Water Engineering
- Hydraulic Engineering
- Design Engineering Hydrology
- Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management
- Freshwater Resources Assessment
- GIS and Data Analyses
- GIS and Remote Sensing
- Remote Sensing
Students in this programme will gain advanced theoretical and conceptual knowledge and understanding in the area of environmental engineering on topics such as engineering hydrology, environmental modelling, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, and environmental data analysis, among others.
Career Opportunities. Graduates from the programme will find employment as engineers in the private sector (e.g., engineering consultancy, engineering design, project management, risk assessment,waste management), in the public sector (e.g., environmental protection, regulation, standards development, local government, river basin management), and in the non governmental sector (e.g., environmental advocacies, NGO’s), or may wish to pursue further qualifications (e.g., PhD, MBA) to become even more specialised.

Prerequisites:
This programme is designed for graduates from recognised 4-year (240 ECTS) honours level bachelor of engineering programmes (or equivalent) who wish to specialise in environmental engineering. You will need:
- A recognised bachelor’s degree (honours) in engineering (minimum 4-yr, 240 ECTS), preferably in civil engineering or environmental engineering, or equivalent.
- High academic grades, i.e., a minimum 2H1 Honours level or its equivalent (your transcript should include grades for each subject taken).
Language Requirements
If English is not your native language (unless you have done your primary degree through English), an English language qualification is required, e.g. IELTS International English Language Testing System (IELTS). An average score of 6.5 over all components and a minimum of 6.0 in each band on the Academic Version is required.
Application Procedure:
Applications must be submitted via an online form. You can create a new account or sign in to an existing one. After you submit your online application, a list of required documents will be emailed to you. Students must include in the documentation names and contact details of two referees who can assess your intellectual ability, maturity and motivation. All applicants are required to pay a 50€ application fee. This covers multiple applications for the same academic session.
Application deadline: UCD operates a rolling admissions policy for graduate taught courses with decisions being taken as soon as possible after receipt of completed applications. In general, courses remain open until such time as all places have been filled.
Qualification
Assessment:
Assessment is by means of continuous assessment of assignments, laboratory and project work, as well as by substantial written examination of course material in most modules. The Environmental Research Project module will require submission of a substantial final report/thesis. Assessment of this module will involve participation in seminar/poster presentations and a final oral examination.
Qualification: Master of Engineering Science
