The International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering (IMETE) program addresses these needs by educating a new generation of environmental scientists and engineers that can provide adequate and state-of-the-art environmental technology and engineering solutions to tackle complex, multidisciplinary environmental issues.

This course is designed to enable engineers and other technical specialists to take a leadership role in the field of environmental engineering and management. The course deals with the broad aspects of environmental management relevant to practising professionals in engineering science, planning, architecture, law, surveying, health and building. Engineers, scientists, town planners and other professionals working in this field have a compelling duty to ensure that the adverse effects of development on the total environment are minimised. The duration of the course is one-and-a-half years; however, applicants with a recognised bachelor's degree in engineering or the natural and physical sciences are eligible for recognition of prior learning of up to four subjects and are thus able to complete the course in one year on a full-time basis.

The development of advanced environmental technologies, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial competencies form a basis for an integrated approach needed to solve environmental business challenges. Master in Environmental Engineering study program is focused on fostering the above-mentioned competencies.

The Master of Science and Technology in Complex Systems Engineering (MScT CSE) in Environmental engineering trains environmental engineers to design and implement solutions to prevent, control, or remediate environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, waste management, and climate change.

The goal of the program is to educate highly qualified professionals capable of comprehending, identifying, and employing modern engineering methods to scientifically analyze and assess diverse global, regional, and local environmental engineering issues.

The Master of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering (MS CENE) provides a program of advanced study for candidates wishing to gain additional expertise for a career in the Civil and Environmental Engineering field. Students may select either a thesis or non-thesis option based on their career goals.

The Master in Environmental Engineering (MEA) of the University of Aveiro (UA) aims to train technicians capable of predicting and characterizing environmental problems and dysfunctions and of proposing solutions to avoid and solve them, technically and financially viable. It is based on the UA's experience and competence in the area of Environmental Engineering, which enables a better integration of knowledge in a holistic approach for understanding the processes and operation of environmental systems, ensuring an inter and multidisciplinary training in diversified areas and in a European context, and allowing flexibility and alternation in employment.

The central theme of the Master in Environmental engineering: Earth Resources Engineering is the conscientious stewardship of our finite natural resources, namely minerals, fuels, energy, water, and land. Students taking ERE will attain a broad background in environmental engineering and earth resources covering water resources, pollution prevention, energy, resource economics, recycling, waste and bio-waste valorization, alternative and renewable raw materials, reclamation, and health.

The Master of Science in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering provides with an education focused on developing adequate engineering frameworks for the sustainable utilization of natural resources and man-made infrastructures.

The Master in Sustainable Environmental Engineering and Law (SEEL) is a master’s diploma with two degrees encompassing environmental engineering, geography sciences and environmental law. Its objective is to enable students to acquire comprehensive multidisciplinary skills, both theoretical and practical. These are further enhanced by learning methodologies and practical skills (research training, complex project management).

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) offers higher degree programmes by research, on a part-time and full-time basis.

The Master in Environmental Engineering and Technology makes a review from the technical point of view to the different environmental problems derived from industrial activities, and proposes the adoption of solutions and good practices always taking into account economic and social factors.

The M.S. program in Offshore Wind Energy Engineering is offered through the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This program offers graduate-level training in offshore wind engineering, policy, and project management training for students seeking jobs in the emerging global offshore wind energy industry. A full-time student can complete this option in one year but three semesters are recommended, and part-time study is available.

The program provides the students with a vast palette of Environmental Engineering topics, to finally bring a solid professional background. The schedule covers Statistics, Project Management, Interactive Decision Making, Fluid Mechanics, Environmental Microbiology and Chemistry, Water Supply and Wastewater Disposal, Water Reuse, Spatial Planning, Groundwater, and Soil Protection, Environmental Impact Assessment, Engineering Surveying, and GIS Applications, Wastewater Engineering, Water Treatment, Waste Management, Urban Hydrology, Water Resource Management, Numerical Modelling of Hydrosystems, Modelling Methodologies for the Environment, Thesis Seminar.
