The actions of industry and economic and social activities influence and directly or indirectly affect the environment and quality of life.
In coming years, societies must face climate and environmental challenges and will require professionals with a scientific grounding and global awareness of how the planet works, in physical, chemical, geological and biological terms, who can foresee and provide solutions for these challenges.
With the bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, you will become part of a profession that has a great future and impact, because you will work on designing new production processes that help to control and mitigate environmental problems and to conserve natural resources by means of clean energy and technologies.
In the fourth year you will be able to choose one of the two mentions that are offered: Urban and Industrial Environment or Natural Environment and Global Change.
