Master in Department of Environmental Engineering

Tuition comes to 3,538 USD per year.

In southern Taiwan, National Cheng Kung University offers a master's degree program in its Department of Environmental Engineering, delivered in English. At the graduate level, environmental engineering builds on foundational training in chemistry, biology, and civil engineering to focus more deeply on specialized topics such as advanced water and wastewater treatment, air pollution control technologies, solid and hazardous waste management, and environmental modeling. Students examine the design and operation of treatment systems, the behavior of pollutants in air, water, and soil, and methods for assessing and mitigating environmental impacts from industrial and urban activity. Coursework often incorporates environmental regulations and policy, since engineering decisions in this field are shaped by legal standards for pollution control. A master's program in environmental engineering typically requires students to complete a thesis or research project, working closely with faculty on a defined engineering or environmental problem, in addition to advanced coursework. This research component allows students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical design or analytical challenges, whether through laboratory experimentation, field data collection, or computational modeling. Graduates commonly pursue careers as environmental engineers, technical consultants, or project managers in water utilities, waste management companies, and government environmental agencies, as well as roles in industrial firms responsible for environmental compliance and sustainability initiatives. Some graduates continue toward doctoral study to pursue research careers. The program suits students seeking to deepen technical expertise in pollution control and environmental protection beyond an undergraduate foundation, preparing them for more senior or specialized engineering roles.
