There is no doubt that the sustainable supply of potable water to an ever-thirsty world and the adequate disposal of wastewater are some of the major environmental challenges of the 21st Century. Sustainable water management is one of the most important challenges facing humanity. Effective and equitable action requires increased capacity to engage with the interdisciplinary and multi-scale nature of managing water.
Our one-year MSc course develops knowledge and critical understanding of water science and technology, and the socio-economic, political, cultural and institutional environments within which policy and management decisions are made. The aim of the course is to train future decision makers, managers and policy makers in water policy and management. Past graduates have gone on to obtain positions in a range of water-related jobs. Examples include policy positions in government departments (e. g. Environment Canada, UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) ; Chinese Ministry of Works), environmental and engineering consultancies (e. g. Halcrow), non-governmental organisations (e. g. WaterWise) and international bodies (e. g. World Bank, UN). A significant number of students use the course as a gateway to start D. Phil. /PhD research.
