Program Description

Looking after water resources has never been more important or more challenging. The world needs engineering graduates who can tackle the problems of flooding, pollution and infrastructure design. The university's large multidisciplinary water research group drives it's research-led teaching and module content. Students will cover essential engineering principles like fluid mechanics, chemistry, hydrology, applied hydrogeology, hydraulic engineering and computational methods, and have the opportunity to attend lectures with leading industry experts and use commercial software and modelling tools.

The department collaborates with industry and other prestigious universities all over the world on challenging problems in water supply and environmental protection. The course will prepare students for work in areas such as the water industry, sustainable urban development, flood and environmental management.

This degree is accredited as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree. See the Joint Board of Moderators website for more details.
