Communities depend on safe and reliable water and wastewater services. There is an urgent need to transform those services to improve protection for public health, provide better care for the water environment, cope with climate change, and become fit for a low-carbon future.
Our MSc in Water and Wastewater Engineering will equip you with an advanced understanding of the technologies at the heart of those services, including conventional ones as well as more radical, innovative systems. You will also gain a real-world perspective on the evolving global sector in which those technologies are utilised.
Our academic staff are world-leading experts in the field, and their cutting-edge research directly informs our teaching to help us go beyond standard textbooks. Throughout the course you will cover theory, application and practice while working in our world-class facilities, including our very own working sewage treatment works.
