So you’ll graduate as a well-rounded professional with a comprehensive overview of the sector. Along with insight into the latest in flood risk management research and innovation. You’ll study flood risk reduction, adaptation and control. Practice data collection and analysis. Work with software such as geographic information system (GIS). And explore community engagement approaches including serious gaming. We’re located in one of the five global cities that make up the City Water Resilience Framework. A project to help cities better prepare for and respond to flooding. Field trips give you opportunities to explore the city of Hull’s significant investment in flood resilience. Our strong relationships within the sector give you the chance to attend guest lectures and workshops from organisations such as Hull City Council, Yorkshire Water, international universities, and industry experts including JBA Consulting. Our annual conference provides further opportunities to hear from and network with a diverse range of organisations.
