Applied Environmental Geoscience; Hydrogeology;
Ireland
The MSc in Applied Environmental Geoscience provides comprehensive training in the theory and practice of environmental geoscience to equip graduates for careers in scientific, engineering and environmental consultancies, natural resources and mining industries, regulatory agencies and research in Ireland and further afield.

The vocational programme was established in 2017 in consultation with industry and government agencies in order to address a skills shortage identified in the environmental geoscience sector in Ireland. The MSc in Applied Environmental Geoscience combines a core focus of hydrogeology/contaminated land and engineering geology (30 credits) with advanced modules in applied geophysics, geoinformatics, environmental monitoring and assessment, environmental law and offshore environmental geology. This course is delivered through a combination of lectures, workshops, seminars which are supported by field courses and laboratory practical sessions. A strong emphasis is placed on obtaining ‘hands-on’ practical experience following international standards in best practice using real-world industry examples. 30 of the 90 credits involve an independent research project completed with an industry collaborator or as part of ongoing research projects within the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES). The course offers a unique opportunity for international students to gain EU based work experience whilst studying for their Masters. There is currently a global high demand for graduates with applied environmental geoscience skills and this demand is projected to grow in the coming years. The course content is regularly reviewed by a panel of industry advisors from a range of local and international geoscience practice areas in order to meet the ongoing needs of the geoscience sector.

Students in Part I take taught modules to the value of 60 credits involving field study, lectures, practical classes, seminars and workshops.

Students in Part II will undertake a substantial Research Project to the value of 30 credits in an area of environmental geoscience. Part II consists of a research dissertation based on independent research to the value of 30 credits (GL6019) which is completed between April and September. Students will complete a research project during a five-month placement in industry or a research group within the School of BEES, University College Cork.

Hydrology; Hydrogeology
Ireland, Galway
We offer two taught courses: 1. EOS305 Introduction to Applied Field Hydrology. This is a 5ECTS introductory module that is split between hydrology and hydrogeology. This course is open to third year EOS, Environmental Science and general science students. 2. EOS418 Applied Field Hydrogeology. This is a 5ECTS module focused on applied hydrogeology. Well and pump testing are key components of the class, and each year we explore a broad hydrogeology area, for example, in recent years we've covered fracking, coastal karst hydrogeology, mining hydrogeology, structural controls on groundwater resources. This course is open to fourth (final) year EOS, Environmental Science and general science students. It is also a post-graduate option for students enrolled in the MEng Programme.

Organised by Earth & Ocean Sciences.

Earth Observation for Water Resources Management
Netherlands
For a full-time MSc course in the use of Satellite Observation and GIS for Water Resources management come to the Faculty of ITC of the University of Twente. Would you like to contribute to tackle issues caused by having too little, too much, or dirty water? Then ITC’s specialization in Water Resources and Environmental Management is what you’re looking for.

Timely, accurate, and detailed spatial information on the status of water resources is the key to managing water resources. At ITC you will learn how to utilize theoretical knowledge and develop the skills required for effective water resources management. ITC research areas you could explore include flood prediction, groundwater recharge, drought monitoring and prediction, water quality monitoring, and climate studies. For your own MSc research, you’ll be able to join forces with dedicated ITC research group on Water and Climate.

SPECIALIZATION COURSES in which also the research can be done:

HYDROLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CYCLES (7 CREDITS)
EARTH OBSERVATION OF WATER RESOURCES (7 CREDITS)
PRINCIPLES OF MODELLING FOR WATER RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENT (7 CREDITS)
IN-SITU MEASUREMENTS FOR WATER RESOURCES MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT (7 CREDITS).

Organised by Faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation.
