Master Environmental Sciences and Engineering
The SIE Master’s program trains environmental engineers to work on real-world environmental problems. Students choose a specialization while learning how to deal with complex natural and urban systems, where conditions constantly change. Graduates are prepared to find practical, sustainable solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
The Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Engineering offers a wide range of courses and four specializations:
- water resources and management (WRM)
- climate change anticipation and adaptation (CCAA)
- environmental sensing and computation (ESC)
- biological and chemical processes in environmental engineering (BCP)
It is also possible to follow a minor in one of the many domains in which environmental sciences are involved, such as energy, data science or biotechnology.
ADMISSION CRITERIA
For persons with EPFL bachelor degrees:
This SIE Master’s program is consecutive to a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Engineering obtained at EPFL, so students from this section are directly admitted.
EPFL students with architecture and other engineering bachelor degrees are subject to a dossier-based analysis and have to submit candidature dossiers; they specific admission eligibility criteria can be read here.
For persons with non-EPFL bachelor degrees:
Bachelor’s degrees obtained in the same field but from another academic institution are required to submit candidature dossiers and must have excellent academic records.
