About this course

Environmental Science and Engineering at Trinity is an integrated five-year program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to develop sustainable solutions for key societal and environmental challenges. The course combines natural sciences and engineering, with a focus on protecting and improving our environment, fostering biodiversity, and promoting climate action. It includes both undergraduate and postgraduate components, culminating in a degree that prepares graduates to work with natural systems rather than against them. Students engage in practical laboratory and fieldwork, often involving international trips, and learn through diverse assessment methods. Delivered through collaboration between Trinity’s School of Natural Sciences and School of Engineering, the program emphasizes research, teamwork, and applied problem-solving.

Why this course is highly recommended

This course is ideal for students eager to address pressing environmental issues using both scientific and engineering approaches.
