About Water and Environmental Engineering, MSc - at University of Portsmouth

Overview

Solve problems in water pollution, sanitation and climate change with environmental science and civil engineering in this MSc Water and Environmental Engineering.

You’ll explore the ways water and environmental systems function, how human activity affects these systems, and – most importantly – how new and existing interventions can be used to reduce and remediate these effects.

You’ll focus on sustainability and environmental technology design, as you work with academics recognised by industry, research funders, and the Research Excellence Framework. Your projects could align to the needs of industrial partners, such as Southern Water, or to ongoing research in University projects such as Revolution Plastics.

While you study, you’ll have access to facilities including the Environmental Technology Field Station and Hydraulics Labs, where you’ll apply current methods to industry-standard technology, and develop the professional skills to secure a role in the water and environmental engineering sector.

Course highlights

  • Work on some of the most pressing issues of our time – including microplastics, carbon neutrality, water resource security, water pollution
  • Graduate with the skills to address key environmental issues, such as UN Sustainable Development Goals SDG6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG13 (Climate Action), and SDG14 (Life Below Water)
  • Design and deliver research projects in partnership with industrial partners, and showcase your ability to engage with the water and environmental engineering sector
  • Apply current analytical techniques in our environmental technology facilities and laboratories, including our Environmental Technology Field Station at Petersfield Wastewater Treatment Works
  • Sign up for free student membership of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM)
  • Work with teaching staff who bring academic expertise and a history of innovation and collaboration with the water and environmental engineering industry

Careers and opportunities
