Program overview
The first two years of an environmental engineering degree, covering mathematics, chemistry, physics, environmental systems, fluid mechanics and engineering design fundamentals.
The environmental engineering transfer route delivers the first half of an engineering degree that is completed elsewhere. Years one and two run at Cape Breton University, years three and four at the partner university in Halifax, and the engineering degree in environmental engineering is awarded there. Because the credential finishes at another institution, the environmental engineering diploma on its own does not carry post study work standing, and Apply Study Visa maps the full multi institution plan, including the second study permit stage, before any deposit is paid.

- Environmental Engineer: after the full degree
- Water Resources Engineer: post degree roles
- Remediation Engineer: post degree roles
