2. Curriculum

The Bachelor of The Bachelor of Environmental Engineering program at Vietnam Maritime University offers a comprehensive education that prepares students for successful careers in the Environmental Engineering industry program is organized into 8 semesters as follows:

Throughout eight semesters, students undertake a comprehensive curriculum that combines theoretical and practical learning. In Semester I, students gain foundational knowledge and skills through Calculus, General Physics which emphasizes problem-solving. Introduction to Environmental Engineering provides knowledge about the needs of society for the major of Environmental Engineering, problem solving skills in debate situations related to the field of environmental engineering, teamwork skills, design and implementation skills of an environmental protection task. General Law covers the importance of laws in daily life. General Chemistry provides an understanding of fundamental chemistry. Optional courses include Graphical drawing provides skills to read and understand technical drawings, Business administration equips business management skills and Soft Skills 1 to build communication and teamwork abilities.

Semester II broadens students' knowledge with subjects like Probability and Statistics, which develops data analysis skills. Physical chemistry-1, Inorganic chemistry -1, and Organic chemistry -1 focus on the fundamental areas of chemistry, while Basics of environmental science provides knowledge on environmental pollution issues and environmental management towards sustainable development. Environmental law and policy improves knowledge of legal policies related to environmental management and engineering. Optional courses include Basic English 1 for language enhancement; and Office Informative technology develops skills for working with documents and spreadsheets.

Semester III delves deeper into topics such as Environmental biology, Application of micro chemical biology in Environmental engineering, Environmental engineering chemistry, Hydraulic process, Analytical chemistry for refining foundational knowledge and skills. Optional courses include General English 2 for language enhancement further; Environmental toxicology, Energy vs Environment enhances the understanding of the environmental toxic agents and forms of energy in the environment.

Semester IV explores advanced subjects like General English 3 strengthens language skills, while Environmental Chemistry, Reactions proceeding technique, Cleaner production Environmental data help enhancement further about environmental chemcal enginerring and processes. Optional courses include Environmental protection in maritime sector, Environmental management system improve management of pollution in maritime and oceans.

In Semester V, students study Solid waste management, Mass transfer process, Environmental analysis, Natural resources management and sustainability, Advanced physiochemical and oxidation processes to enhance their understanding of fundamental knowledge and develop expertise in Chemical Engineering and Environmental Technology.
