MSc Environmental Engineering
How can we ensure clean water, manage waste sustainably, and tackle pollution in urban and rural environments? How can we design systems that protect against floods, droughts, and heatwaves while supporting resource recovery and circular solutions? How can we balance urbanization, climate resilience, and the protection of natural ecosystems?
The MSc Environmental Engineering programme empowers you to address these critical questions. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the programme equips future engineers to develop solutions for water management, air quality improvement, and sustainable infrastructure. You learn to innovate for a healthier, more sustainable future—shaping resilient cities and protecting the natural environment.

A deep dive into the blue waters of Curaçao
A small red car is driving in reverse, while a TU Delft master student is leaning out of the passenger window. “Left, right, more left. You got this!” As pot-holes and puddles are avoided, trees with giant thorns scrape off the car’s varnish. Water equipment, boots and a giant hedge cutter tumble around on the back seat as the car manoeuvres sharp turns. ‘’I think it’s after the third cactus to the right… I see it, I see the mill! We’re here!’’
