General information
The Hydroinformatics MSc applies advanced information and communications technology to the management of the waters of the world. This course provides a quantitative training in hydrology, hydraulics and modern information communications technology (ICT) within the context of water management, preparing you for a career in hydroinformatics in the water sector.
The course begins with field visits to case studies in the north of England. These provide the stimulus and context for our formal teaching as well as an informal setting for you to get to know staff and fellow students.
Compulsory modules
- Quantitative Methods for Engineering
- Climate Change: Earth System, Future Scenarios and Threats
- Hydrosystems: Processes and Management
- Geographic Information Systems
- Hydrosystems Modelling
- Integrated River Basin Management
- Hydroinformatic Systems Development
- Modelling of Floods
- Groundwater Modelling
- Computational Hydraulics
- Modelling and Forecasting of Floods
- MSc Project and Dissertation in Water Resources
Individual modules can be taken as Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
