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.

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.
Enrolling in the Environmental Technology programme was a game-changer for me. From renewable energy to waste management, the coursework provided practical knowledge that I’ve already applied in my career. The hands-on projects and supportive environment propelled my growth, and I’m confident that the skills I’ve gained will make a real difference in addressing environmental challenges
As a graduate student specializing in environmental technology, the knowledge gained from this course will directly translate into practical applications within the real-world contexts. I am grateful for the support and guidance provided by my lecturers in QIU, who have been instrumental in my academic journey.
