General information
This programme provides the skills and knowledge required for a career in water and environmental management. You will acquire academic and practical skills, as well as developing a detailed knowledge of fundamental environmental processes, and the ways in which these need to be managed sustainably. A considerable part of the programme is taught by leading practitioners including personnel from the Met Office, the Environment Agency of England and Wales, and Defra (UK Department of Food and Rural Affairs).
Programme structure
Core units
This stage provides a common platform of underpinning skills and knowledge at Masters level in the basics of water and environmental management. The units aim to provide you with research, mathematics and computing skills, together with a firm understanding of fundamental processes that govern water movement through the atmosphere, atmosphere-biosphere interactions, and water flows through river catchments. The stage concludes by exploring how this fundamental understanding leads to environmental management, policy and legislation at local, national and international levels. Core units include:
- Research Skills
- Environmental Management, Policy and Regulation
- Terrestrial Hydrometeorology
- Surface and Groundwater Hydrology
- Introduction to Environmental Statistics using MATLAB
- Numerical Analysis using MATLAB
Optional units
This stage provides a specialist knowledge in a range of carefully chosen options. You choose two units from the following list:
- Environmental Systems and Ecosystems Services
- Integrated Catchment Management
- Water Resources Engineering
The programme is completed with the submission of a research-based dissertation.
Careers. Students who have completed this programme have gone on to work for government agencies both in this country and overseas, water companies and environmental consultancies.
