Water and Environmental Engineering Aalborg University

Overview

During the Water and Environmental Engineering programme of Aalborg University  (Aalborg Campus) you will work with pollution of soil, groundwater, drinking water, wastewater, streams, lakes and fjords and how all of these systems are connected and affect each other – for example how lack of oxygen in fjords can be caused by human exploitation of the soil in the surrounding area and how floods can be caused by climate change. These types of interconnected environmental analyses make this study programme unique.
