Note:   Specialisations in the Environmental Engineering Stream

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisations should select `Environmental Stream Electives`. Students may like to initially select the Stream Electives option and choose a specialisation after their first year.

  • A stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Environmental Engineering, such as Geotechnical Engineering.
  • A breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Environmental Engineering, in areas such as Engineering Data Science.


You have 3 specialisation options to choose from in the Environmental Stream:
  • 1 stream specialisation [18cp] + 1 free elective [6cp] or
  • 1 breadth specialisation [24cp] (no free electives) or
  • Stream electives or free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option)


NOTE: This enrolment structure is for students who commence their degree in Semester 1 (February). If you began your degree in Semester 2 (July-August), please follow the Semester 2 commencing enrolment plan.

Dalyell Scholars Program

Students in the Dalyell Scholars program can review the Dalyell Canvas page for information on fitting the program into their degree: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/7156/pages/enrolment-options-for-dalyell-scholars

Advanced units in Maths and Science

Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling.
