Learning and teaching

You will experience a range of learning methods throughout this degree, including lectures, tutorials, seminars, independent and group work, laboratory sessions, and extensive project work.

Assessment methods

In this degree you will be assessed through assignments, quizzes, exams, class presentations and debates, peer- and self-assessment, and report writing.

Learning at RMIT

The types of classes you have will depend on the course you’re studying. Classes are offered in various formats designed to provide meaningful engagement with staff, industry and peers and provide for access and use of spaces where learning can be applied and active, including an array of specialised equipment.

Most RMIT courses do not include passive large-scale classes such as lectures, instead the content traditionally provided in lectures is made available online. This may be in the form of readings, videos or other on-demand learning materials. This content will also support the basis of interactive learning that takes place in on-campus classes.

You'll take regular field trips that involve teamwork and instrumentation.

In the final year of your studies you will undertake a major project that is either industry-based or simulates an industrial situation, working with industry leaders to solve a problem.

In order to graduate, you must complete 12 weeks of engineering industry experience. This allows you to gain experience in an engineering environment under the supervision of a practising engineer.

Opportunities exist for an overseas work placement of between six and 12 months, satisfying the engineering industry requirement.

You will also have an opportunity to undertake a team research project in Vietnam or China.

RMIT supports students to undertake global work, exchange and study experiences.

There are opportunities to undertake international study tours to Paris to explore sustainable cities, to study China’s environmental challenges and to take part in a sustainability project in Vietnam.

Global work, exchange and study experiences

RMIT offers a range of opportunities for our students to study abroad through global work, exchange and study experiences with over 165 partner universities worldwide.

The knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout this degree and how they can be applied in your career are described in the learning outcomes.

This program is taught predominantly at the City campus. Students may have to travel to the Bundoora campus for laboratory, WIL and/or capstone project work.  

Year 1

You'll concentrate on fundamentals in environmental science, chemistry, biology and engineering mathematics.

Year 2

During second year, your environmental science studies will cover the hydrosphere, ecology and soil environment.

Engineering practice units give you the opportunity to engage in a multidisciplinary project. Working in teams, you will learn about environmental principles and sustainable design. You’ll also start groundwater studies.

Year 3

You'll learn about the atmosphere and start to study courses from your chosen minor of either environmental biology or environmental chemistry.

You'll also gain a basic grounding in environmental engineering through studies in urban systems of water supply and pollution control. Geological site investigation studies also include the opportunity to undertake site visits.

Year 4

In your fourth year, you will complete your minor studies.

You will further develop your understanding of urban water systems, economics, waste water treatments and land contamination.

You'll also undertake an environmental engineering project.

Year 5

Your final year will focus on advanced studies in environmental sampling and analysis as well as studies in ethics, policies and law.

You'll also be prepared for the workforce through work-integrated learning opportunities and specially designed courses.

Paying your fees and applying for refunds

For information on how to pay your fees or how to apply for a refund, please see Paying your fees and applying for refunds.

If you are offered a Commonwealth supported place, your tuition fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.

Your share of the fee (student contribution) is set on an annual basis by the government and is determined by the discipline areas (bands) of your individual enrolled courses, not the overall program.

How much can I expect to pay for my Commonwealth supported place?

The Australian Government has introduced changes to university funding and student contribution fees under its Job-ready Graduates Package. 

The fees in the table below apply to students who commence their program in 2025. Fees for continuing students are available at fees for Commonwealth supported students.

Each course (subject) falls into a band. The band determines the student contribution amount for the course.

Amounts listed in the table below are based on a standard, full-time study load (96 credit points per year) with all courses in the same band. A proportionate fee applies for more or less than the full-time study load or for enrolment in courses (subjects) from a combination of bands.

  • Once you have utilised all your SLE, you can not longer study in a CSP.

For more information about SLE, visit Study Assist.

HECS-HELP Loans

The Australian Government provides financial assistance via the HECS-HELP loan scheme, which allows eligible students (such as Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) to defer payment of up to the full amount of their student contribution.

SA-HELP Loans

You may be eligible to apply to defer payment of the Student services and amenities fee (SSAF) through the SA-HELP loan scheme. If you use SA-HELP, the amount will be added to your accumulated HELP debt.

How does a HELP loan work?

If your FEE-HELP and/or SA-HELP loan application is successful, the Australian Government will pay RMIT, on your behalf, up to 100% of your fees. This amount will become part of your accumulated HELP debt.

You only start repaying your accumulated HELP debt to the Australian Government once you earn above the minimum income threshold for repayment, which is set each year by the Australian Government (this also applies if you are still studying). The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will calculate your compulsory repayment for the year and include this on your income tax notice.

For more information about loan repayment options see Commonwealth assistance (HELP loans) or Study Assist.
