Joint Nordic Master in Environmental Engineering

120 credits (MSc, 2 years)

The Nordic Master's programme in Environmental Engineering focuses on sustainable management of impacts on the environment caused by human activities, and on the development of new technologies to address environmental challenges.

It addresses some of the most pressing current political issues such as climate change, sustainable generation of energy, management and renewal of aging urban infrastructure, provision of safe drinking water and contaminated land and waste management. Environmental Engineering is an interdisciplinary science, bridging all the sciences and placing them in a social, economic and legal context. Within the discipline, there are areas of specialization, or small subject areas.The programme strengthens capacities in established areas such as Urban Hydrology, Water Supply and Waste Water Management.

Study at two Nordic universities

The Master’s programme in Environmental Engineering is a collaboration between five leading technical universities in the Nordic countries (Nordic Five Tech). The programme gives you a unique opportunity to tailor your degree based on your academic interests.

You will get to study at two of the partner universities in different countries (however, note that it is not possible to study at both Chalmers and KTH), spending one year at each one, and you will graduate with a double master’s degree. The universities participating in the Master's in Environmental Engineering are:

Aalto University, Finland

Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway

Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Denmark

The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden

The coordinator of the Nordic Master in Environmental Engineering is Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Chalmers University of Technology participates in the following tracks:

Urban Water & Water Resources Engineering
Risk Assessment & Environmental Systems
