Undergraduate Minor Program in Environmental Sustainability and Management

This minor program will be comprised of a collection of courses covering various issues in environmental sustainability and management. The domain of coverage of the minor program includes air-, hydro-, and geo- environment. At present, the main focuses of the program are placed on sustainability and management of (1) air quality; (2) surface and ground water resources; and (3) water and solid waste treatment and utilization. Climate change and its effects on natural hazards and environment are also an important element of the program. It is anticipated that the future scope of the program curriculum will be expanded to cover natural resources and land use; coastal marine environment due to wastewater disposal; and construction of mega-cities & livability.

As environmental concerns are becoming increasingly important in Hong Kong and Mainland China, an improved knowledge and awareness of environmental sustainability issues is becoming a necessity for professionals, managers as well as policy makers in all disciplines. The program is designed for students from all Schools of HKUST. Through this program, we hope to provide students with fundamental and in-depth understanding of environmental sustainability and management that can certainly benefit them in their future career development and well-being of our living environments.
