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.
