At the UK’s only exclusively postgraduate university, students will benefit from the unique experience of working with researchers whose primary purpose is to support the needs of their sector. All components of the Advanced Water Management course are designed with the same end goal in mind: to produce the best graduates for jobs in water resources, hydrology, water quality, habitat conservation and creation, and flood risk management.
To achieve this, students will first reinforce their knowledge of topics and methods in four core areas (hydrology and modelling, water quality and ecology, drought and flood risk management and water management at urban and catchment scales). they will then integrate this learning and apply it to a real-world problem in the group project. Over a 10-week period, students will work in a team of 6-8 students from a range of Cranfield University Master of Science courses on a consultancy project, handling all stages of project design and delivery from initial meetings to scope out the work to the final report and presentation. Topics vary yearly as they respond to the needs of industrial partners, but typically relate to water resources and quality, aquatic ecology and flood risk management. Finally, they will delve into a single topic for their individual thesis project, strengthening their skills in project design and management; data collection, analysis and interpretation; and report writing, all of which are essential for their future career.
