Postgraduate

Water, Sanitation and Health Engineering MSc
United Kingdom
This course will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of how to deliver effective modern water supply, sanitation and other public health interventions in urban and rural areas in low-income and transitional economies.

The MSc is particularly aimed at consultants, and working professionals in national and local government, non-government organisations, international development organisations and public health agencies. It has a strong focus on developing practical and policy skills and addresses the critical future challenges of climate change, population growth and urbanisation. You’ll develop your understanding of technical interventions in water supply, sanitation and solid waste management.

Run in conjunction with the Nuffield Centre for International Health and Development, one of the UK’s preeminent public health research centres, and informed by the work in our Water, Public Health and Environmental Engineering Group, this programme will give you the knowledge and skills to identify and deliver investments that will have major benefits for health and development.

Organised by University of Leeds, School of Civil Engineering.

MSc Degree in Hydrogeology
United Kingdom, Birmingham
MSc Degree in Hydrogeology

Why Birmingham MSc Hydrogeology?
• Longest running hydrogeology MSc course in the UK (48 years; >800 graduates from > 50 countries)
• Very strong and vibrant graduate network worldwide in consultancy, academia, and regulatory sectors
• Extensive industry involvement (over 40 groundwater organisations)
• Outstanding employment opportunities with well-recognised shortage and increasing demand for hydrogeologists in many countries worldwide

This MSc course is designed for those looking for a fascinating, varied career that is aimed at safeguarding both human and environmental well-being, including in the context of climate change. Offering a comprehensive education in the theory and practice of groundwater science and engineering, the course provides an excellent basis for careers in scientific, engineering and environmental consultancies, water companies, major industries, research, and government scientific and regulatory services in the UK and abroad. Hydrogeology is a multidisciplinary subject and we welcome students from a range of science backgrounds, including geosciences, engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry, biosciences, computer sciences, and environmental sciences. The lecture component of the programme encompasses the full range of hydrogeology topics, including groundwater resources, contamination, remediation, and engineering. A wide choice of project topics is also available, including many with industry. The MSc is a full 12-month programme, though we also offer a ‘split registration’ option that allows the course to be taken over two years.
The taught part of the course is divided between two terms of 11 weeks. The autumn term (September to December) includes a week of fieldwork where a range of field testing and sampling is undertaken on the University campus research borehole array and visits are made to a range of sites in the UK where, for example, groundwater remediation, wetland conservation, river augmentation, waste disposal, or drilling can be seen in action. Students also attend a national research conference.

In the spring term (January to March), in addition to the taught modules, there is a programme of seminars involving industry speakers. From May to August students undertake an individual project. Projects are often with groundwater/environmental consultants or with government bodies, or may be associated with staff research. They may be based in the UK or overseas, and be focused on field work, laboratory work, computer modelling, or a combination of these.

Career openings include those with consulting engineering and environmental firms, government scientific services and regional water companies, both in this country and abroad. Demand for hydrogeologists is substantial and students from the course are highly regarded by employers.

Postgraduate

Hydrogeology/ Environmental Geology; Professional Sciences Master’s degree
United States
The program provides graduate-level training on topics in geology, soil, and water that are used in environmental management, but differs from a traditional M.S. in that it also includes environmental law, business, and project management courses and a capstone (not a thesis) project. A Professional Science Master's degree in Environmental Geology (PSM-EG) and Graduate Certificate in Environmental Geology are available. The Certificate can be earned entirely online; All PSM-EG courses can be taken online, with the exception of three, face-to-face field workshops.
