Program Overview
Undergraduate Environmental Engineering ITB is a higher education institution and the center of science and technology development which has a competitive advantage, reliable and dignified in the field of engineering and management, especially in settlements, industrial, mining, oil and gas, as well as environment related to the built environment .
The International Undergraduate Program in Environmental Engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), launched in 2019, awards a Bachelor of Science (S1 or BSc) degree. This full-time, 4-year program (8 semesters, 144 credits) is delivered entirely in English.
It is designed for national and international high school graduates seeking global expertise in environmental challenges like water management, pollution control, waste treatment, and sustainability. Accredited by BAN-PT (A) and IABEE, it welcomes motivated students ready for worldclass labs, international collaborations, and careers in engineering, consulting, or policy.
ITB’s Environmental Engineering program is accredited with an “A” rating from Indonesia’s national accreditation body (BAN‑PT) and is also IABEE‑accredited, reflecting internationally recognized standards of curriculum and learning outcomes in environmental technology and management.
The program maintains active partnerships with ministries (Environment, Public Works, National Development Planning), utilities, and private‑sector consultants, which translates into internships, field projects, and employment pathways for graduates in infrastructure, policy, and consulting roles.
Students learn through courses grounded in ongoing research groups (water and wastewater, air and waste management, environmental management technology), as well as five specialized laboratories that allow them to design and test treatment systems, conduct risk assessments, and solve real‑world environmental cases.
The International Program (International Class) is taught fully in English, attracts students from various countries, and links to collaborations with universities such as TU Delft, Virginia Tech, ANU, and several Asian and European institutions, including joint courses, field trips, exchange opportunities, and mobility programs.
The curriculum emphasizes integrated engineering and management solutions for water supply, pollution control, waste treatment, and environmental policy, specifically designed to equip students to tackle environmental challenges at local, national, and international scales

Culminates in Semester 8 with TL4099: Seminar dan Ujian Tugas Akhir (Seminar and Final Project) and TL4097: Perancangan Teknik Lingkungan (Capstone Design), The final year emphasizes integrated, practice-oriented engineering solutions to real-world environmental challenges.
Students in ITB’s International Environmental Engineering program learn through a mix of lectures, problem-based tutorials, labs, and fieldwork that connect theory with Indonesia’s real environmental challenges. Classes are relatively small in later years, allowing closer interaction with lecturers and more guidance during design and lab sessions. Learning becomes increasingly project-based: students work in teams on treatment plant designs, environmental impact assessments, and a final capstone project that integrates technical, policy, and management aspects. Joint international courses and guest lecturers add global perspectives, so students practice presenting, collaborating across cultures, and reflecting on their role as future environmental engineers.
The International Undergraduate Program (IUP) in Environmental Engineering at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) offers strong international exposure through academic partnerships that support student exchanges and collaborative programs. These opportunities enable students to study abroad in environmental engineering and related fields, gaining global perspectives and cross-cultural experience in addressing environmental challenges.
ITB’s Environmental Engineering IUP supports student exchanges, including study abroad semesters or years at partner institutions. These opportunities promote global academic standards and cross-cultural learning. Partnerships enable mobility for undergraduate students in environmental engineering-related programs.
Alumni from ITB’s International Program in Environmental Engineering enjoy strong career outcomes, securing roles in high-demand sectors that address global challenges. They typically work in government agencies like the Ministry of Environment and Public Works, multinational companies as environmental engineers or safety managers, consulting firms for AMDAL and pollution control, NGOs such as WWF or Greenpeace, and industries focused on waste management and sustainability.
Further study options abound, with pathways to master’s or PhD programs at top partners including TU Delft, University of Tokyo, and NUS, bolstered by international exchanges and double-degree opportunities.

ACCREDITATION
Student Story/Alumni Testimony
"Environmental engineering at ITB provided the necessary knowledge needed for quantitative environmental modelling methods and gave me a network that allowed me to excel further in my job (i.e. for consultations & collaborations)."
Fahri M. Adrianto Santosa
"My study in TL led me to high rise building, government meetings, community lab, remote island to landfill cells, all life enriching experience that not many can experience all at once in their career. TL is the place where you can go anywhere, be anything, and conquer everything!"
Nabila Fathonah
"I am now continuing my studies in Environmental Engineering at ITB through the Integrated Bachelor’s and Master’s Program, which allows me to shorten my overall study period. By pursuing a Master’s degree right away, I hope to open more doors for my future career in the environmental engineering field."
Keylana Aretha
“I learned to look at environmental issues from different sides including technical, social, economic, financial, and more. That experience taught me to always consider the bigger picture. Now, in my job, I use that mindset when doing daily tasks and when creating sustainability strategies to make sure our operations don't harm the environment and, hopefully, even bring a positive impact to the people and places around us. What I learned during my studies helped me understand that sustainability isn't just about the environment, it’s about how everything works together. That mindset is something I use every day at work.”
