Overview
Solve problems in water pollution, sanitation and climate change with environmental science and civil engineering in this MSc Water and Environmental Engineering.
You’ll explore the ways water and environmental systems function, how human activity affects these systems, and – most importantly – how new and existing interventions can be used to reduce and remediate these effects.
You’ll focus on sustainability and environmental technology design, as you work with academics recognised by industry, research funders, and the Research Excellence Framework. Your projects could align to the needs of industrial partners, such as Southern Water, or to ongoing research in University projects such as Revolution Plastics.
While you study, you’ll have access to facilities including the Environmental Technology Field Station and Hydraulics Labs, where you’ll apply current methods to industry-standard technology, and develop the professional skills to secure a role in the water and environmental engineering sector.

Careers and opportunities
Careers this Master's prepares you for
There’s a growing call for workers who’ve mastered environmental and sustainable issues, responding to pressures such as legislation, Extinction Rebellion or the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
As a graduate of this degree, you’ll be able to answer this call as an innovative engineer, or by acting at the interface of water and environmental policy on protection and remediation. You’ll be able to demonstrate to employers that you understand the issues faced by an environmentally conscious business, that you’ll be able to apply your knowledge to solving the issues, and that you have the design skills to deliver the solution.
You’ll also have practised your teamworking and communication skills, which are transferable to any area or career, and would be well placed to consider further research opportunities.
Graduates of this course could go on to roles in organisations such as:
A second-class honours degree in a relevant subject, or equivalent professional experience and/or qualifications.
