MSc Hydrology and Water Resources Management

Imperial College London

Course overview:Understand the modern day challenges facing hydrologists on this one-year, multidisciplinary Master's course. Hydrology explores the natural distribution of water in time and space. On this course, you'll evaluate the impact of manmade changes on the distribution and quality of this water. While hydrology has traditionally been concerned with floods and water resources, experts are increasingly focused on the problems of pollutant transport, as well as wider issues such as climate change. This course will deepen your theoretical and practical knowledge of hydrology, which encompasses the physical and life sciences, mathematical sciences, and systems analysis. You'll also enhance your understanding of water resources management through practical field visits, and carry out an individual research project in an area of your choice.Professional accreditation:This MSc degree is accredited on behalf of the Engineering Council by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), comprising:Institution of Civil EngineersInstitution of Structural EngineersInstitute of Highway EngineersChartered Institution of Highways and TransportationPermanent Way InstitutionThis degree is recognised as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree
