The Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering is introducing the MSc ESE Program to provide the opportunity for qualified graduates in different disciplines from science and engineering to advance their knowledge and skills in modern environmental perspectives and challenges. The intent is also to prepare students to engage in multidisciplinary fields with independent and collaborative research in academic, governmental, and industrial contexts. During this learning process, students will participate in knowledge generation and improvement, research synthesis, and knowledge/technology transfer. The Program is also intended to support the development of quality and relevant research, especially applied research in pertinent environmental fields to UAE and the region.
• The University of Sharjah pledges to reach (net) zero GHGs as soon as possible and by mid-century at the latest, in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5C. This aligns with the UAE’s commitment to achieving (net) zero by 2050 at the latest.
• We set an interim target to achieve in the next decade, which reflects maximum effort towards or beyond a fair share of the 50% global reduction in CO2 by 2030 identified in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5C
