The Division of Environment covers the subject areas of civil engineering and environmental management and technology.
The relevance of the courses is ensured by our close links with industry with the Division's professional training tutor being committed to placing students in industrial placements and relevant paid, supervised work experience.
All the courses make extensive use of the Division's well equipped laboratories, which provide practical experience of building science, environmental monitoring, water and environmental engineering, materials, soil mechanics and geology, structural engineering, and transportation engineering. In addition our state-of-the-art surveying equipment, supported by our computer laboratories, provides advanced resources for land surveying and modelling, and GIS applications.
The Division includes one of the University's leading research centres, the Urban Water Technology Centre. UWTC focuses on knowledge transfer and applied research, and provides services to the environment, water and manufacturing industries.
UWTC and the Division have a formidable track record in combining academic skills with commercial expertise in its many projects carried out to date. The cutting-edge knowledge obtained from these activities enhances the resource management and water themes of the undergraduate programmes, and UWTC operates the Division's Masters Programmes.
