This course aims to complement a relevant undergraduate degree, by introducing students to hydroinformatics, computational hydraulics and environmental hydraulics, including water quality indicators and sediment transport processes in coastal, estuarine and inland waters. In recent years, there has been a growing world-wide concern about environmental water management issues, including concerns about coastal and estuarine water pollution, river flooding and urban drainage, wetland and mangrove management, and ecological aspects of lakes and reservoirs, to mention but a few. In addressing these and other environmental challenges, engineers and environmental managers are using sophisticated numerical models for predicting complex hydrodynamic, water quality and sediment transport processes. These models are increasingly complemented with decision support software systems and a wide range of related hydroinformatics software tools. The MSc in Civil and Water Engineering will offer you the knowledge and expertise that you need for a career as a consulting water engineer within this specialist professional area of civil engineering. The course aims to complement a relevant undergraduate degree by introducing you to hydroinformatics, computational hydraulics and environmental hydraulics, including water quality indicators and sediment transport processes in coastal, estuarine and inland waters. The MSc is aimed at graduates in Civil Engineering, Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences and Bio-Sciences. Good mathematical skills are an advantage. The degree programme is also aimed at engineers/scientists working in relevant areas wishing to upgrade or refresh their qualifications. — Institute of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) - Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) - Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) - Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE)
Getting in
As the university states it
Typically, you will need to have either: a 2:2 honours degree in architectural, civil, coastal, hydro, structural, water, water supply or water waste engineering, or an equivalent international degree. or relevant industrial experience evidenced by a reference. Applicants with a degree in biosciences or earth sciences may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
