HBKU's Master of Science in Sustainable Environment examines how human development affects the natural environment, covering the causes, impacts and control of pollution alongside the resource pressures created by population growth and economic development. The program builds scientific, engineering and analytical skills aimed at strengthening resilience to climate-change risks and improving the management of water, food and waste resources.
The 33-credit, two-year curriculum opens with a quantitative or computational subject plus foundational training in sustainability and research ethics, then lets students choose five electives covering topics such as hydrogeology, climate change, air quality, desalination, solid and hazardous waste management, and water and wastewater treatment.
Alongside a research seminar requirement, students complete the degree through a choice between an applied project and a thesis, tailoring the program toward academic research or industry-facing sustainability work.
