Pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss are three of the key environmental challenges now recognised as environmental emergencies by the United Nations (UN). These global emergencies exacerbate inequalities across society and will continue to have significant health and socioeconomic consequences.

Effectively, the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will not be achieved without addressing the root causes and understanding the threats posed by these emergencies. This requires investment in people and talent, equipping them with the multi- and transdisciplinary knowledge and skills needed to help solve these societal challenges, building up our social and natural capital.

This programme looks to raise your ability to understand and analyse complex interlinked environmental issues, in order to develop long-term solutions. You will develop advanced technical skills and build experience in applying them across a range of environmental areas ensuring that you are equipped with highly sought after skills needed for a successful career in the Environmental sector.

The Sustainable Water Resources pathway acknowledges that water resources are an integral component of the ecosystem, a natural resource, and a social and economic good. Traditional, fragmented sectoral approaches to water and related resources and management have led to poor services and unsustainable resource use.

This pathway aims to develop systems-level thinking and multidisciplinary understanding for coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources to maximise economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising natural capital.

At Brunel, we have excellent links with many organisations through our research activities, so you can be assured of a high-quality placement at a relevant organisation.

Opportunities for our master's students include placements at the Environment Agency, Water Industry, Infrastructural Joint Ventures (e.g. AlignJV) and the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
