This programme recognises water as the world's most precious natural resource. It provides advanced training to engineers and scientists in order to develop their understanding of the activities involved in the optimal design and operation of water engineering systems. This opens up the range of career opportunities available for specialists who understand the complex role of water in modern society, and can provide guidance to ensure optimum utilisation of this often scarce resource.
The programme is intensive, and aims to develop your ability to think originally and produce innovative solutions to practical problems. The integrated approach to the water cycle and the use of modern management techniques both help to ensure that graduates of the programme can attain senior management positions in the water industry, both in the UK and overseas.
