Om studiet
I en tid hvor vannmangel og forurensning utgjør betydelige globale utfordringer, gir dette studieprogrammet deg kunnskap og ferdigheter som trengs for å finne bærekraftige løsninger.
- Gjennom studieløpet vil du få et dypdykk i emner som vannkvalitetsvurdering, behandlingsteknologi og miljøforskrifter.
- Her får du praktiske ferdigheter, teoretisk forståelse og tilgang til moderne laboratorier.
- Du får mulighet til å delta i virkelige prosjekter ute i industrien, og utvikle innovative og samfunnsnyttige løsninger.
- Studiet har to spesialiseringer: en for realfagsstudenter og en for ingeniørstudenter. Spesialiseringen for ingeniørstudenter fører til tittelen sivilingeniør.
Jeg har kunnet dra nytte av nesten alle studieemnene i min nåværende rolle som miljørådgiver.

Utveksling
Ved å reise til en av våre partnerinstitusjoner i utlandet som en del av studiet har du mulighet til å få en unik utdanning. I tillegg til økte karrieremuligheter, vokser du som person og får se faget ditt fra en ny vinkel.
Students may choose to study abroad gaining international experience outside the programme during the 3rd semester.
During the exchange semester you should choose courses similar to your programme. The courses you want to take abroad must be approved by the department. It is important that the courses from abroad do not overlap with courses you have already taken. You must choose at least one non-science/technological course equivalent to 5-10 ECTS (e.g. economics, languages, ethics, project management, green transition or similar).
More opportunities
In addition to the recommended universities listed below, The University of Stavanger has a number of agreements with universities outside Europe that are applicable to all students at The University of Stavanger, provided that they find a relevant subject offering. Within the Nordic region, all students can use the Nordlys and Nordtek networks.

Opptakskrav
Opptakskrav til spesialisering for ingeniørstudenter (master i teknologi/sivilingeniør)
Opptakskravet er fullført bachelorgrad i ingeniørfag, i henhold til nasjonal rammeplan for ingeniørutdanning, med minimum 15 studiepoeng i kjemi og grunnleggende kunnskap i biologi. Annen teknisk-naturvitenskapelig bachelorgrad, med minimum 15 studiepoeng i kjemi og grunnleggende kunnskap i biologi, kan også kvalifisere til opptak. Det stilles krav om minimum 25 sp matematikk, 5 sp statistikk og 7,5 sp fysikk. Søkere med utenlandsk utdanning må ha tilsvarende 25 sp innen matematikk, 5 sp statistikk og 7,5 sp fysikk.
Da flere emner inneholder integrert kjemi skal det gjøres en individuell, faglig vurdering av søkere til dette studieprogrammet.
Det er satt en laveste gjennomsnittskarakter for opptak på C.
