Location of Newcastle University
All over the world the water environment is under stress. In many cases, short-term human needs are met only at the cost of long-term environmental damage. If society is to achieve a "sustainable" future, in which such damage is minimised, then it will need the skills of numerate hydrologists who are also well-versed in the socio-economic and ecological disciplines which provide the context for development decisions. This one-year full-time programme will provide you with these skills.
This programme, accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE), Institution of Highways and Transportation (IHT)) and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), provides intensive quantitative training in the planning and sustainable management of water resource systems. The programme is practically oriented and multidisciplinary in approach with a flexible learning route for those in full-time employment in industry.
The MSc in Sustainable Management of the Water Environment aims to provide opportunities for graduates with first degrees in a range of scientific and engineering disciplines to enhance their knowledge of the water environment and its management, through theoretical, practical and computational (informatics) training. This training is quantitative and very relevant to the needs of today´s water industry.
Contents
The programme begins with a short field course that provides the stimulus and context for the formal teaching. You complete compulsory modules (80 credits) and optional modules (20 credits), followed by a research project written up as a dissertation (80 credits). Compulsory modules may include: integrated river basin management; sustainability and water resources; hydrosystems processes and management; hydrosystems modelling; climate change - earth system, future scenarios and threats; climate change - vulnerability, impacts and adaptation; quantitative methods in engineering. Optional modules may include: groundwater assessment; groundwater modelling; modelling of floods; hydroinformatics systems development; climate change: mitigation technologies. Assessment is by formal written examinations, course work, a dissertation (often in collaboration with industry), and oral and poster presentations.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
