In September 2007, the Centre for Environmental Health Engineering (CEHE) introduced a new MSc programme in Water Regulation and Management, with the full involvement of the Drinking Water Inspectorate for England and Wales (DWI). This relationship will establish the new programme as a prestigious and unique MSc qualification. The DWI provides external visiting lecturers to contribute to the delivery of modules, including those shared with the current MSc in Water and Environmental Engineering. An integrated approach has been adopted in the design of the eight core modules of the new MSc. The dissertation will permit students to pursue a further element of specialisation relevant to their backgrounds and career aspirations.
The MSc in Water Regulation and Management provides a high quality vocational education, which is intellectually rigorous, as well as relevant to the needs of future professionals in UK and global water utilities, regulatory bodies and consultancies. The programme draws on CEHE's research activities and the DWI's status as one of the world's foremost regulatory bodies. It will provide an opportunity for development of the knowledge required by both regulators and professionals charged with a responsibility for ensuring that potable water supplies comply with national standards.
At the current time, career prospects for both EU and overseas students successfully completing the MSc programme are particularly strong in water cycle-related organisations. Opportunities exist for graduates to work for UK consultancies, water utilities, contractors, relief agencies and other technical organisations, as well as furthering their academic studies in PhD/EngD doctoral research projects.

Core Modules
Environmental Health
This module enables students to develop knowledge of key concepts in environmental health as they apply to water quality management and control.
Water Treatment
Students will develop a critical understanding of issues relating to raw water sources, water treatment, distribution systems, water quality and reservoirs, advances in chemical treatment and auditing chemical performance.
Applied Chemistry and Microbiology
This module provides the basis for a systematic understanding of water chemistry, microbiology and chemical processes associated with water and wastewater treatment, including aqueous chemistry, kinetics and equilibria, electrochemistry and biochemistry.
Wastewater Treatment and Sewerage
This module develops an understanding and awareness of the roles of preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment processes. It also provides a comprehensive understanding of design procedures and aspects of regulations and legislation. Sewerage design, construction and maintenance also form core elements of this module.
Regulation and Management 1
Students can gain an understanding of the principles and practice of water resources and water supply regulation and management.
Regulation and Management 2
This module provides a detailed understanding and awareness of UK legislation for drinking water and the resulting regulations, standards and monitoring requirements. It also provides a critical appreciation of the inspection and audit process used to regulate the UK water industry.
Drinking Water Safety Plans
This module provides an understanding of the drinking water safety plan concept which applies from catchment to tap. This includes an assessment of factors relating to distribution networks, best practice in operation and distribution systems, water systems in buildings and the needs of the customer.
Industrial Project
The industrial project offers an innovative opportunity for students on the programme to apply knowledge gained to critically assess factors influencing both the audit procedures and performance of actual water treatment and supply processes.
Dissertation Project
The MSc dissertation requires students to conduct research and/or display the ability to critically evaluate evidence. Dissertation projects could be based on literature review, original laboratory experimentation, field testing or pilot plant work.

Accreditation
The University of Surrey School of Management is unique as the only business school in the world to hold simultaneous accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO). MBA and Tourism students can be assured of the quality of their programme and the School as recognized by these awards.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is an international body which assesses business schools on the quality of their programmes and operational management. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide.
Institutions that earn accreditation confirm their commitment to quality and continuous improvement through a rigorous and comprehensive peer review.
AACSB International accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. AACSB International accreditation assures stakeholders that business schools:
* Manage resources to achieve a vibrant and relevant mission.
* Advance business and management knowledge through faculty scholarship.
* Provide high-calibre teaching of quality and current curricula.
* Cultivate meaningful interaction between students and a qualified faculty.
* Produce graduates who have achieved specified learning goals.
An AACSB accredited business school gives an assurance that it is amongst the best in the world.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation is widely recognised as the global standard for MBA programmes. The association has acted as an advocate for MBA programmes around the world since 1967 and assesses business schools and their post-experience management programmes against rigorous criteria. These criteria include:
* The institution offering an MBA should have a clear strategy and mission, explicitly expressed and regularly updated. It will have a clear understanding of the market for its products.
* Staff should be credible in terms of their academic qualifications, their ability to teach business at postgraduate level, the quality of their research and the extent of their business contacts and consultancy activities.
* As the MBA is a post-experience, postgraduate degree, students admitted onto an accredited MBA must have a minimum of three years work experience, with the cohort averaging 5 years experience.
* The curriculum should be generalist in nature and must cover the core business skills: marketing, the economic and legal environment of a business, accounting and quantitative methods, finance, organisational theory, interpersonal skills, information technology, and the processes and practices of management.
The School of Management has a long association with the tourism industry and a worldwide reputation for excellence in tourism education. It was the first institution in the UK to receive UNWTO TedQual certification for both its undergraduate and postgraduate tourism programmes.
The UNWTO TedQual certification system contributes to the quality and efficiency of tourism education training and research. It proposes a methodology and voluntary standards with universal scope to more clearly define the quality of tourism education systems. The UNWTO TedQual certification system is a quality assurance system for tourism education, training and research. The specific aims of the UNWTO TedQual certification system are:
* Establish a quality standard for tourism education and training systems.
* Smooth the way towards greater pedagogic productivity in tourism.
