3) PROGRAM STRUCTURE

The program is divided into 3 large courses which are progressed in 3 semesters, as below:

  • 1st Semester: Students will study general and fundamental courses;
  • 2nd Semester: Students will study specialist courses;
  • 3rd Semester: Students prepare master’s dissertation in 6 months.
4) ADMISSION TIME

Two admission times in June and December annually.

Study period: 18 – 24 months.

Study time: At night or on Saturday and Sunday.

5) ENTRY REQUIREMENT
  • Having a bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Technology, Environmental Engineering Technology, Environmental Management, or Environmental Science.
  • Having a bachelor degree in the fields closed to environmental engineering, with different from 20% to 40%, must attend implemented courses and get certificate before attend the entrance examination.
  • For candidates who are currently working at environmental management institutes, in case studying the master degree to meet working requirements (with official recommendation letter signed by the heads of the Institute), students have to have at least 2 years of working experience. If the bachelor degree is different environmental field, candidates must attend implemented courses and get the certificate before attend the entrance examination.
  • In case of having temporary graduation certificate (at least good level) in the field of environment or closed field with environment, the candidate could attend the entrance examination, but candidate is required to submit the official bachelor degree before beginning the master studying.
6) THE EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
  • Language proficiency: TOEIC 500 or equivalent.
  • Leader skill; Professional presentation skill; Teamwork skill; Arrangement skill; and Management skill of research.
  • Improve and develop methodologies of scientific research, which supports for further PhD research. 
  • Build up a good relationship with many professors, senior lecturers, industrial experts in many fields of environmental engineering technology.
7) CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates from Environmental Engineering would gain specific knowledge and skills that contribute significantly to their own career:

  • Have in-depth knowledge of environmental engineering as well as good skills to perform professional work on environmental management and technology;
  • Have the ability to teach theory and practice in the field of environmental engineering/technology at colleges and universities;
  • Be able to work independently or work in a team in order to provide a scientifically informed view about environmental issues, as well as propose solutions such as technical technology,  management organizational effectiveness;
  • Have a strong knowledge and the ability to conduct scientific research can continue with higher level research or conduct research projects at universities and environmental research institutes;
  • Could work in good position in the field of environmental engineering in enterprises or management agencies in the field of environmental protection
8) GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

a) Students complete the training program with average GPA of 5.5 or above (on ten scales).

b) Meet the English proficiency requirement set by the university.
