Environmental engineering is a branch of environmental science, which aims to protect human beings from adverse environmental factors by applying scientific and engineering principles. It also plays a protective role in protecting the global environment, preventing the potential harmful effects of natural and human activities and improving environmental quality. Environmental engineering is closely related to ecology, environmental hygiene in medicine, environmental medicine and environmental chemistry.
Developed countries generally attach importance to environmental improvement projects, and Britain is no exception. In British universities, many schools have set up environmental engineering majors, mainly including the following branches: environmental science, water resources treatment and supply, climate change, water pollution control, air pollution control, noise control and so on.
Environmental engineering professional application requirements are as follows:
1, GPA requirements: the top 20 universities in the UK generally require applicants to have an average score of more than 80 points, and students with good undergraduate background (21/985 universities) will relax the requirements appropriately.
2. Language requirements: Most colleges and universities require an IELTS total score of 6.5, with each item not less than 6.0.
3. Work experience: There is no rigid requirement for the applicant's work experience, but having corresponding work experience is beneficial to the application.
4. Academic background: The applicant should have an engineering background, such as chemistry, environmental science or computer science.
Introduction of good related institutions majoring in environmental engineering;
1, Imperial College London, London
When it comes to environmental engineering schools in Britain, there are only Imperial College London in London. Founded in 1907, the school is one of G5 in Britain and ranks among the top three in Britain. There are three related majors, namely environmental engineering, environmental engineering and enterprise management, environmental engineering and sustainable development.
2. University of Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh, Aida for short, is located in the center of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Founded in 1583, it is the sixth oldest university in Britain. Its engineering is the dominant major in our school. The school has four majors related to environmental engineering, namely environment and development, environmental culture and society, environmental protection and management, and environmental sustainable development.
