Environmental Engineering, Science and Engineering

Build expertise for a sustainable future

Environmental engineers develop solutions that help societies use natural resources more sustainably and reduce environmental impacts. From clean water and resource recovery to environmental monitoring and circular economy solutions, you will learn how engineering can support a more sustainable future.

With us, you will learn how to:

• develop solutions for drinking water production and wastewater treatment
• monitor environmental quality through sampling, analysis and measurement techniques
• improve resource efficiency and support the transition towards a circular economy
• assess environmental impacts using life cycle assessment and environmental modelling tools
• apply scientific and engineering principles to solve complex sustainability challenges

These skills prepare you for diverse careers in environmental consulting, water and wastewater management, sustainable industry, environmental technology development, and research.

Learn through science, technology and research

During your first year, you will build a strong foundation in mathematics, natural sciences and engineering. In your second year, you will focus on environmental engineering and select a minor subject that matches your interests.At the same time, elective studies at Tampere University enable you to tailor your degree to your personal interests.

Your studies combine theory with practical learning. You will work on projects, laboratory exercises and real engineering problems while developing both technical and teamwork skills.

We offer second-year students the opportunity to join a research group through a research training placement. This allows you to gain hands-on experience in cutting-edge research while earning ECTS credits.

This bachelor's programme is taught in English. Before applying, please check our language requirements for bachelor's programmes.

Continue seamlessly to a master's degree

After completing your Bachelor of Science in Technology degree, you can continue directly to a master's degree at Tampere University without reapplying. You can choose from several Master of Science (Technology) programmes and further specialise in areas that match your interests and career goals.
