Develop knowledge of environmental policies, legislation and impact-assessment methods used to evaluate development projects.

4. ESG & Sustainability

Understand the fundamental concepts of Environmental, Social and Governance considerations and their relationship to organisational sustainability.

The programme introduces ESG principles but does not automatically include professional certification in all international sustainability-reporting frameworks.

Practical & Research-Oriented Learning

The programme includes:

• Environmental Engineering Laboratory
• Environmental Sampling and Analysis
• Summer Internship
• Internship Seminar
• Research Project I
• Research Project II

The final year places significant emphasis on practical experience and research.
