Placement and abroad
In fourth year you can do an industry internship, go on an international exchange, or stay in Trinity and do a capstone project.
Where it can lead
Graduates are expected to work in engineering and environmental consultancies, energy companies, regulators such as the EPA, local authorities and aid organisations.
Who it suits
Suits students who like both science and problem solving and want to work on climate, biodiversity and sustainability issues, including outdoor and lab work.
