The Nordic five tech master's programme in Environmental engineering focuses on sustainable management of impacts on the environment caused by human activities, and on the development of new technologies to address environmental challenges.
About the programme
The programme addresses some of the most pressing current political issues such as climate change, sustainable generation of energy, management and renewal of ageing urban infrastructure, provision of safe drinking water and contaminated land and waste management. Environmental Engineering is an interdisciplinary science, bridging all the sciences and placing them in a social, economic and legal context. Within the discipline, there are areas of specialization or small subject areas. The programme strengthens capacities in established areas such as Urban hydrology, Water supply and Waste water management.
Study at two Nordic universities
Nordic five tech (N5T) is a strategic alliance of the five leading technical universities in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The alliance was established in November 2006 with the goal of utilizing the shared and complementary strengths and creating synergies within education, research and innovation.
You will get to study at two of the partner universities in different countries, spending one year at each one, and you will graduate with a double master’s degree. However, please note that it is not possible to study at both Swedish partner universities Chalmers university of technology and The royal institute of technology (KTH).
The universities participating in the Nordic five tech master's in Environmental engineering are:
- Aalto university, Finland
- Chalmers university of technology, Sweden
- Norwegian university of science and technology (NTNU), Norway
- Technical university of Denmark (DTU), Denmark
- The royal institute of technology (KTH), Sweden
Chalmers university of technology participates in the following tracks:
- Urban water & Water resources engineering
- Risk assessment & Environmental systems
The coordinator of the Nordic Master in Environmental engineering is the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

Scholarships
All Nordic five tech applicants who are required to pay tuition fees at Chalmers (regardless of their year of study) are eligible to apply for scholarships. All Nordic five tech master's applicants will receive an email at the end of March, or at the beginning of April with instructions regarding the scholarship application. Eligible applicants nominated by the Nordic five tech committee will receive a personal e-mail with instructions regarding the possibility to apply for a scholarship, in April. In the meantime, you are welcome to read about them. Take note, do not apply for a scholarship administered by Chalmers prior to receiving a personal e-mail with instructions.
