flood risk management.
What you'll learn
You’ll be able to understand:
key subject areas such as hydrology and hydraulics
the theoretical basis for methods of analysis and modelling
the regulatory and socio-economic aspects of water management
specific examples of water management, drawing on examples from developing and industrialised countries.
Your development
On completion of the course, you will have developed intellectual and practical skills relevant to industry including:
apply appropriate mathematical methods for modelling and analysing relevant problems
use scientific principles to develop mathematical and environmental solutions to practical problems
create new products or methodologies by combining ideas from a wide range of sources
planning, executing and reporting research projects
designing water infrastructure schemes
use of instrumentation, IT tools and hydroinformatic technologies.
Accreditation
The course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) (comprising ICE, IStructE, CIHT and IHIE), as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for students with an Accredited CEng (Partial) BEng Honours degree or Accredited IEng (Full) BEng/BSc Honours degree.
