Frequently asked questions.

Over the years, many questions have been asked by students before. For the quickest answers view our frequently asked questions or browse the full list @ Ask Flinders.

Ask Flinders

What is environmental engineering? keyboard_arrow_up

Environmental engineering is all about using science and design to protect the planet and improve public health. You’ll create solutions for issues like clean water, pollution, waste management, and climate resilience.

Do I need to be passionate about sustainability? keyboard_arrow_up

It definitely helps! This degree is ideal for students who care about the environment and want to apply practical skills to solve real-world problems. If you’re the kind of person who wants to make a difference, this is your space.

What industries employ environmental engineers? keyboard_arrow_up

You could work in government, consulting, mining, water utilities, construction, or renewable energy. Environmental engineers are needed anywhere people are designing infrastructure or systems with a long-term, sustainable focus.

Is there a demand for these jobs in Australia? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes—strong and growing. With the rise of climate adaptation, circular economies, and clean tech, Australian employers are actively looking for engineers who can deliver sustainable solutions.

Can I work outdoors or in the field? keyboard_arrow_up

Absolutely. Many environmental engineers spend part of their time on-site, whether that’s assessing land, testing water, or supervising environmental projects. It’s a great mix of office, lab, and field work.

Do I need to know coding or maths? keyboard_arrow_up

You’ll learn everything you need at Flinders. Some basic maths knowledge helps, but coding isn’t required before you start—you’ll pick up key skills as part of the course.

Are there placement opportunities? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes! You’ll complete a 20-week professional placement and an honours project in your final year, giving you real-world experience that employers value.

Can I switch streams after first year? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes. The first year is common across most Flinders engineering degrees, so you can transfer to civil, mechanical, electrical or biomedical if you find another area that suits you better.

What kinds of projects will I work on? keyboard_arrow_up

You might work on designing wetlands to treat stormwater, creating systems to reduce landfill waste, or modelling flood protection for a community. Projects are hands-on and often tied to real-world environmental challenges.

Can I work while studying in Australia? keyboard_arrow_up

Yes. As a student visa (subclass 500) holder, you and your dependents (family members) can work up to 48 hours a fortnight when your course of study is in session. If you have started a master degree by research or doctoral degree, this rule does not apply to you and working hours are not restricted.
