Study a curriculum informed by the School's close partnerships with industry and professional practice expertise Follow a curriculum accredited by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) Benefit from the internationally acclaimed research of the Built Environment and Sustainable Technologies Research Centre (BEST) Follow in the footsteps of graduates who have won CIWEM sponsored national prizes for excellence and achievement This Masters programme is designed to help you become a competent environmental engineer and manager. It will give you a sound knowledge of fundamental engineering and scientific principles, together with the ability to apply these to design, construction, assessment, analysis, operation and management. The programme has two principal aims. First, to equip you with the necessary competencies and skills to analyse, assess and manage all principal aspects within the fields of water, energy and the environment. Second, to give you the professional skills, knowledge and experience to both meet the current demands of industry and influence possible future trends. As a student on this programme you will acquire the necessary techniques to analyse and solve environmental problems. You will critically evaluate the environmental impact of human activities and demonstrate knowledge of national and international environmental policy and regulation. In addition, you will gain the ability to critically evaluate design and operations and use appropriate mathematical models for environmental modelling and assessment.
The module is an opportunity for students to follow BIM protocols and practice in a collaborative multidisciplinary project team to achieve project success.
This module develops students' ability to undertake a comprehensive review of energy supply, use and efficiency measures, in order to make informed decisions on energy use in the construction industry and business.
This module aims to foster an understanding of environmental systems and their susceptibility to human activity. It focuses on ecosystems, resources, and human impact on the environment, equipping students to make informed technical and management decisions based on this knowledge. The module delves into the environmental background, its complexities, and the quantitative assessment of human impact, encompassing both resource issues and pollutant effects.
This module will provide you with an understanding of the academic research process understanding the differing techniques, strategies and methods used to undertake research in the built environment.
This module will develop and test your ability to prepare a dissertation based on a study in appropriate depth, of a subject of some significance in relation to your own discipline within the built environment.
This module aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of river basin management in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). It delves into the WFD, the establishment of monitoring programs for water bodies, the formulation of "programs of measures," and the creation of River Basin Management Plans. Furthermore, it evaluates the sustainable utilization of water and critically assesses advancements in sustainable use measures. The module also covers contemporary developments in pollution control and the process of granting permissions for the discharge of contaminated water and water impoundment.
This module will help you develop an understanding of the operation, design and management of infrastructure in both the Developing World and the Developed World. From this you will develop the capability for critical assessment of the sustainability of infrastructure in a wide variety of situations.
This module critically assesses current practices in water and wastewater treatment, focusing on the design and operation of treatment plants. It also contextualizes water and wastewater treatment within the broader management of public water supply and sanitation.
