Our long-established MSc in Hydrology and Water Management equips you with the essential skills and knowledge to tackle today’s most pressing water challenges.


Taught by leaders in their field and informed by the latest research, you'll learn about hydrological processes and develop specialist technical skills in the context of:


  • water management (including water security and flood protection)
  • 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.
