Awareness of environmental sustainability and related environmentally-based sectors is growing rapidly in Europe, with the Maltese government recently introducing various laws and standards on reducing global warming, climate change, low carbon emissions and the need for conservation in general. This programme of studies includes topics related to environmental monitoring, even within manufacturing industries, that are fundamental to the development of environmental awareness, and provides the necessary practical skills and techniques. Employment is typically within environmental sustainability sector-based organisations, as well as within medium to large organisations that face many environmental challenges, such as waste management, alternative energy sources, traffic management and pollution, on a daily basis.
