Key Course Facts
Course Description
Why choose this course
There’s a global shortage of qualified professionals who specialise in water and environmental engineering. Our MSc will transform you into an expert on water and environmental sustainability, ready to tackle the industry’s complex challenges.
This fully accredited course is taught by experts from our Centre for Environmental Health and Engineering (CEHE), which is a designated World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for the protection of water quality and human health. CEHE sits within the School of Sustainability, Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Our course is increasingly popular and relevant to the needs of future engineers, scientists and professionals in sectors such as environmental health, water quality, sanitation, water resource management and pollution control.
What you will study
Our MSc attracts UK and international graduates who wish to take advantage of the global interest in water quality, sanitation and integrated water resources management to develop their careers.
It will provide you with a solid understanding of the core areas of water and environmental engineering. You’ll gain the skills you need to explore, critically assess and produce systematic and coherent solutions for sustainable water and environmental management.
You’ll do this while integrating core engineering science with practical applications, both independently and within a team, developing an understanding of how this knowledge can be articulated around sustainable development practices.
We’ll prepare you for a successful career in the field, including, where appropriate, progression to Chartered Engineer status.
