Programme Level

Bachelor of Environmental Technology (Honours) at QIU focuses on equipping students with the knowledge and skills to manage, conserve, and protect the environment for sustainable long-term use.

The programme aligns closely with Malaysia’s National Green Technology Policy, which rests on four key pillars: energy, environment, economy, and social, ensuring graduates contribute to national priorities in green development.

With growing public awareness of critical environmental quality issues—such as climate change, global warming, haze pollution, poor drinking water quality, leachate contamination, and improper solid waste and wastewater disposal—the demand for qualified professionals continues to rise.

Under the Environmental Quality Act 1974, prescribed activities require formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports, which must be prepared, submitted, and monitored by trained experts to ensure full compliance with regulatory standards.

The programme therefore aims to train competent individuals in conducting EIAs, thereby improving overall environmental quality and minimising adverse impacts on society and ecosystems.

Completing the three-year Environmental Technology programme at QIU during the challenges of a global pandemic strengthened both my resilience and the close bonds shared with peers and lecturers, especially with the invaluable guidance of Dr. Lee Sin Li during my FYP. The programme broadened my understanding of environmental systems and emerging technologies while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and active engagement beyond the classroom. Most importantly, it taught me to balance academic rigor with well-being and to view education as a platform for meaningful impact.

Spending three years studying Environmental Technology at QIU prepared me not only academically, but also personally. Beyond learning about the environment and technology, I developed creativity in my studies, built trust and respect through diverse group work, and learned the discipline required to balance multiple responsibilities. It wasn’t easy, but the experience shaped me into a more capable and resilient individual.
