This Master's degree is designed for students who wish to practice across abroad range environmental engineering and apply new sustainable risk managementstrategies for complex environmental problems. Water, Waste and Environmental Engineering has beentraditionally referred to as public health engineering in the United Kingdom.In this postgraduate course, the technical aspects of both natural andengineering environmental systems will be covered. There will be broadinterdisciplinary subjects synthesizing knowledge from a wide spectrum ofscience and engineering, expanding the content of public health engineering,which in the UK has traditionally been responsible for developing theinfrastructure for managing water and waste.
Studentswill develop engineering skills and be able to design, develop and applyconcepts for water and waste as a resource based on environmental sensitivityand be competent in planning, modelling, design, construction, operations,maintenance and control of both engineered and natural water and earthresources.
Students who select this postgraduateprogramme will gain a skill set that will enable them to progress in the fieldsof:
The MSc in Water, Waste and Environmental Engineering will incorporatesolid waste management, contaminated land treatment and the use of geographicinformation systems (GIS) with emphasis on management of the earth's resources.
The programme will explain the relationship between different earth resourcesincluding hydrosystems, both 'engineered' - hydro-power plants, water/wastewatertreatment plants, sewers - and 'natural' - rivers, lakes, wetlands, irrigationdistricts, reservoirs etc., solid wastes, brownfield land, and geo-derivedprimary resources and their sustainable management.
The aims of the programme are:
Your time at university should be enjoyable and rewarding, and it is important that it is not spoilt by unnecessary financial worries.
