University of Stavanger

Du skal studere lenge i Stavanger for å rekke over alt denne regionen har å by på. Variasjon er nemlig ett av kjennetegnene ved unviersitetsbyen Stavanger. Få steder passer vel tuistklisjeen "et Norge i miniatyr" bedre enn nettopp her. Norges mest pulserende utelivsby venter på deg. UiS ligger på et 1200 dekar stort område i naturskjønne omgivelser på Ullandhaug med Universitetsbibliotek, bokhandel, kafeer, kaffebar, treningsfasiliteter og helsetjenester. Vi er spesielt stolte av SiS sportssenter på 5600 m2 som ligger sentralt på Campus.

Water is life. This incredible chemical with its numerous anomalies is the fundamental nutrient and ecosystem component for all living organisms.

The University of Stavanger offers two Master of Science Programmes in Environmental Technology. We aim to provide motivated students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible water managers and engineers.

Students that want to pursue a career in the oil and gas industry, or among the many offshore related service and research companies, are offered a programme in OFFSHORE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING. The philosophy of this programme is to combine courses in offshore oil and gas exploration, production technologies and environmental management. The programme is suited for students that are interested in practical technological and administrative techniques for sound environmental management in the offshore industries. Successful candidates will qualify for key positions in environmental engineering and management.

Our programme in WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY is offered to students that want to specialise in aquatic chemistry and ecology, and technologies for water and wastewater treatment. The more natural science and research based programme seeks to provide students with fundamental and advanced insight into aquatic chemistry, environmental biotechnology and water process engineering.

Our approach is to use fundamental mass and energy balance approaches for design and operation of water and wastewater processing technologies. We encourage students to see available technologies in relation to the ecological mechanisms of receiving environments.

Successful candidates qualify for positions in governmental and private research institutions, public and private environmental management and technical consultants, and as environmental engineers within the industry.
