Aim
The waste management sector is experiencing unprecedented change in response to national and international legislative pressure and government scrutiny. It is shifting from a historical reliance on landfill technology towards implementing the principles of sustainable waste management, resource management and life-cycle analysis.
The course will provide students with the breadth and depth of advanced technical and professional knowledge in waste technology and management in order to meet the requirements expected of modern waste managers working in the industrial, government and consulting sectors. The course provides an integrated and cross-disciplinary approach to sustainable waste management and its application. Students will be equipped to select and apply scientific, technical and engineering principles; assess economic consequences and risks of waste management options; and apply acquired knowledge to team working and independent problem solving.
To ensure relevance to the sector, the Centre for Resource Management and Efficiency has established a Programme Advisory Group (PAG).
