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.

Distance learning

Surrey is a pioneer in distance learning-based MSc courses in civil and environmental engineering. This flexible option allows you to study for our distinctive, accredited programme from anywhere in the world, without the need to relocate or give up your existing job.

As a distance learner, you’ll study eight modules and complete a dissertation in your chosen subject (like full-time and part-time students), but you can take up to five years to complete your masters. You’ll be able to access all module materials through our virtual learning environment, SurreyLearn, and arrange to take end-of-module exams remotely.

Careers and graduate prospects

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.
