- climate change and climate risks
- global development and urbanisation
The course will also contribute to your personal development by providing you with versatile, employable skills including:
- modelling and coding
- time and project management
- team-working
- writing for technical audiences
- presentation skills
You'll also broaden your understanding of policy and practice, completing the set of tools you’ll need for a professional career in the water sector. Our past graduates are in demand by a range of organisations, including:
- regulatory bodies
- water companies/providers
- local government
- major multi-disciplinary international consultancies and specialist consultancies in the water sector
This course is for both practising professionals and graduates in subjects such as:
- engineering
- geography
- environmental sciences
- earth sciences
- mathematics
- physics
- geology
- computer sciences
Drawing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the course offers a global perspective on hydrology in the context of sustainability.
You will also benefit from our research facilities and equipment including our hydraulics laboratory which includes a state-of-the-art hydraulic flume. We also offer industry guest lectures, which ground the course in hydrological and engineering practice.
