Why do we offer Environmental Engineering for You?
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Study program in "Environmental Engineering" provides all necessary skills for young Mongolians, who want to protect our natural environment. Students receive a thorough understanding of how natural ecosystems work and which role water, air and soil resources play for environmental sustainability and socio-economic development. Graduates of this study program have an expertise in technical measures of pollution control and remediation, and know how to apply them in various contexts, e.g. in specific industries, the mining sector, governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Why shall you study Environmental Engineering?
The Bachelor degree Study program in Environmental Engineering provides to its students' essential knowledge of environmental sciences and engineering in order to prepare them for a multitude of employment opportunities. The approach of environmental engineers differs from other engineering disciplines by looking beyond purely technical aspects. Even though technical expertise is one important learning outcome, environmental engineers develop integrated solutions which also consider the ecological side-effects of technology implementation.
GMIT’s study program on Environmental Engineering includes a wide variety of disciplines, including geosciences and ecology, the management of natural resources such as water, soil and air (with a specific focus on pollution control technologies), recycling, and solid waste management, and remediation techniques for polluted environments. Environmental engineers are prepared to develop holistic solutions for the environmental challenges we face today and in the future.
As all-rounders, the graduates of this Bachelor Study program have the knowledge and the ability to become acquainted with relevant specializations in their future professional or academic life. They have a broad understanding about technical solutions for environmental problems in Mongolia and elsewhere, but are also aware of negative environmental impacts of techno-centric approaches. Based on their knowledge of various scientific and engineering disciplines, they are able to work together with specialist engineers, scientists, practitioners, and policy-makers. By coordinating the work of such experts, they ensure that interdisciplinary collaborations turn out successful.
Why to get your Engineering degree from GMIT?
Teaching and research at GMIT are characterized by strong practice-orientation and dedication to foster creative and critical thinking. This practice-orientation, the promotion of professional and personal development of its students, and the international character of our university, makes GMIT a model university in Mongolia. The Bachelor of Science in “Environmental Engineering” is following a four years (eight academic semester) undergraduate education program with 240 Credit Points (ECTS), according European standards. The international accreditation also provides to students the flexibility of continuing their studies in the European Union and other countries later on. Because the language of instruction is English (German language comes later on, too), students are fully qualified to work in international contexts later on. Furthermore, the study programs have a strong-practice orientation. Besides lectures, students are trained in the lab as well as in the field. Excursions, meetings with practitioners and professional internships connect students to potential employers and provide insights into future career options. Last but not least, educating students who can apply international (German) expertise to local (Mongolian) context and thereby create added value is the core of engineering education at GMIT.
