Prerequisite subjects
Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 25 in English EAL (English as an additional language) or at least 20 in English other than EAL; Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 20 in one of Maths: Mathematical Methods or Maths: Specialist Mathematics.
Overall IELTS score of 6.0 with no band less than 6.0 (or equivalent).
Graduate ready to tackle global environmental issues such as climate change, sustainability and pollution when you study the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) at Deakin. Gain knowledge across the environmental engineering industry in areas including waste management, water engineering, catchment management and soil and water remediation. Develop solutions-led technical and professional skills to put you in high demand in this future-focused field.
Environmental engineers address global environmental issues such as climate change, sustainability, waste disposal, water security, pollution and more.
As a graduate, you’ll be highly sought after in government and private sectors to provide innovative solutions that protect the environment. You’ll be equipped to assess the impacts projects have on air, water, and soil, and design strategies to minimise adverse effects.

Programming for Engineers
^Note: Students without Year 12 Chemistry or equivalent will be required to undertake SLE133 Chemistry in Our World in Trimester 1 (prior to SLE155 Chemistry for the Professional Sciences)
Molecular science is integral to modern environmental engineering. For this reason, knowledge of chemistry is important for all students in the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) course. Students who have a weak or no knowledge of year 12 Chemistry must study SLE133. Students who have a strong knowledge of Chemistry may choose an elective instead of SLE133, and proceed directly to SLE155, and choose an elective later in the degree. Alternatively, students who have a strong knowledge of year 12 Chemistry may choose to study SLE133 in order to strengthen and consolidate their chemistry skills and understanding.

# Must have successfully completed STP010 Career Tools for Employability (0 credit point unit)
~ SEP499 Professional Engineering Practice is available in trimester 1, trimester 2 and trimester 3. Students are encouraged to complete this unit in Trimester 3 of the third year of study.
+ Note: Students are expected to undertake SEJ441 and SEJ446 in consecutive trimesters. Students will be required to seek approval from the unit chair if they are unable to complete SEJ441 and SEJ446 consecutively
Graduates will be in high demand in this rapidly evolving discipline, addressing global issues like climate change, sustainability and water security across a range of industries:
air pollution and emissions control
natural resource management
environmental protection
engineering consultancy
government departments - local, state, and federal
resources - mining, oil and gas
waste management and recycling
water and wastewater treatment.
