Specialisation

The information on this page relates to the 2023 intake of this specialisation.

Our Water and Environmental Treatment Processes specialisation will provide you with an opportunity to engage with two important global challenges: the provision of safe drinking water, and the management of urban and industrial pollution.

While exploring a range of new and emerging technologies in water purification and resource recovery, you will develop an in-depth understanding of the water and waste treatment issues in a number of key industries and learn how to select, adapt, evaluate and justify particular treatment options.

Graduate opportunities

As a graduate of our Water and Environmental Treatment Processes specialisation, you will be able to develop a career in a diverse industrial context, including water and wastewater treatment, minerals processing and atmospheric air protection.

You may pursue a career in research or with industry and government departments assessing the environmental, technical and economic impact of established and emerging technologies.
