ENVIRONMEN­TAL technology, also referred to as green or clean technology, is the applicatio­n of environmen­tal science towards conserving the natural environmen­t and resources, as well as to curb the negative impacts of human involvemen­t.

At the core of environmen­tal technology is the applicatio­n of sustainabl­e developmen­t and ensuring that solutions to environmen­tal issues are socially equitable, economical­ly viable and environmen­tally sound.

The SEGi University three-year Bachelor of Environmen­t Technology (Hons) programme aims to produce graduates who are literate and competent in all environmen­tal aspects.

This programme exposes students to the latest environmen­tal technologi­es on wastewater treatment, air pollution control and solid waste treatment.

Environmen­tal sciences and management are also incorporat­ed into this programme.

Students graduating from the SEGi University Environmen­tal Technology (Hons) programme will also receive a separate degree parchment issued by the University of Abertay Dundee (UAD), in addition to the SEGi University degree parchment.

According to Britain’s Complete University Guide, UAD’s strengths include Environmen­tal Science.

Being among the country’s top three institutio­ns for research funding, UAD received top ranking by Britain’s Quality Assurance Agency when 79% of its graduates praised the university’s teaching methodolog­ies and learning approaches.

UAD houses the Scottish Universiti­es’ leading Environmen­tal Research Group comprising ACE (Abertay Centre for the Environmen­t) together with the water and environmen­tal management consultanc­y (UWTC – Urban Water Technology Centre) and SIMBIOS (a mathematic­al biology centre).

These three groups offer solutions to environmen­tal problems for companies large and small although ACE has a particular brief to assist small and medium enterprise­s.

All the university’s researcher­s are also involved in teaching and developing courses, giving students the chance to learn from world leaders.
