Responsible management of water and environmental resources is essential in tackling the climate emergency. Our accredited MSc is an opportunity to develop and enhance your core skills, to explore key analytical and scientific skills, and gain up-to-date knowledge of national and international environmental legislation.
You’ll study principles of governing disease control through sustainable water treatment technology in developing countries, explore wastewater treatment theory and practice and evaluate treatment processes. Case studies carried out through fieldwork enable you to investigate environmental water sampling and analysis.
You’ll learn with and work alongside members of our research Centre for Aquatic Environments who aim to protect the environment and to support the diverse range of social and cultural values and benefits that derive from healthy aquatic ecosystems.
Our researchers collaborate with global organisations and charities such as UNICEF, the World Health Organisation and Water Aid, and work in partnership with regional and national organisations including National Trust, Environment Agency and Southern Water.
Our well-established links with industry provide networking opportunities and shared insight through guest lectures

Wastewater Treatment Technology
Assessment: 50% coursework, 50% exam
This module addresses the characteristics of wastewater and how variations in flow rate are dealt with. It explores wastewater treatment theory and practice, and the treatment and disposal of wastewater sludge.
It also considers both advanced wastewater treatment technologies and low-cost wastewater treatment and sanitation options for developing countries; it does so in the context of global and local societal and environmental needs.
Water Treatment Technology
Assessment: 50% coursework, 50% exam
This module explores the links between drinking water characteristics and treatment plant design. It critically evaluates a variety of treatment technology options and suitable plans for treatment processes according to varying water characteristics and international drinking water quality standards.
It also investigates the principles governing disease control through sustainable water treatment technology in developing countries and explores the process of risk management through the application of Water Safety Plans.
Water Quality Analysis
Assessment: 100% coursework
This module investigates the principles of safe and accurate environmental water sampling through a local field-based case study. It explores methods for the analysis of the physical, chemical and biological components of water quality and covers approaches to analysing complex data sets.
