This Marine and Lacustrine Science and Management programme at  Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) offers a multidisciplinary approach to marine and lacustrine systems.  It integrates physical, chemical, geological, ecological and societal aspects and encourages students to also consider conservational and sustainability features.

This Civil Engineering programme from University of Birmingham is designed for civil engineering graduates and graduates with related degrees wishing to study a general Masters-level course rather than specialise in one subject area. You can tailor your studies to meet the needs of your chosen career path by selecting from a wide range of modules.

The two-year International Land and Water Management program from Wageningen University and Research explores these kind of land and water management issues at different scales. 

The Land and Hydrographic Surveying programme of the University of Glasgow will introduce you to the surveying discipline and prepare you for employment in the industry. Engineering and land survey are fundamental to the design, construction and navigation of infrastructure projects from small to national scale such as buildings, road and rail networks.

Improvement of seawater desalination using innovative membranes and smart design, closing nutrient cycles by recovering phosphates from animal manure, storage of energy with a minimal environmental impact and the removal of micro-pollutant using smart UV-technology are some examples of technological innovations within the field of water technology.

The Oceanography - Master's Foundation Programme (MFP) at ONCAMPUS Southampton is a 2, 3 or 4-term programme, with guaranteed progression to a wide range of Master’s degrees at the University of Southampton. 

At the UK’s only exclusively postgraduate university, students get the unique experience to work with researchers. All components of the Advanced Water Management course from Cranfield University 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.

Our aquatic ecosystems are under threat. If you want to face the issues of pollution, overfishing and climate change from the frontline – and take your studies and experience to postgraduate level too –then this MSc Applied Aquatic Biology course will meet your ambitions.

The English-taught programme River Delta Development at HZ University of Applied Sciences is a unique joint degree offered by three universities of applied sciences with complementing expertise in the field of water: HZ University of Applied Sciences (coastal regions), Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences (river systems), and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (urban water).

The Water and Sanitation for Development MSc provides the essential skills and knowledge required to plan and implement water supply and sanitation projects and programmes in any part of the world, particularly in low and middle income countries. The course is a balance of engineering, environmental science, public health and social science.

The Water Resources Management - Master's Foundation Programme (MFP) at ONCAMPUS Southampton is a 2, 3 or 4-term programme, with guaranteed progression to a wide range of Master’s degrees at the University of Southampton. 

The Sustainable Water Environments programme of the University of Glasgow will provide you with multidisciplinary knowledge and expertise in river catchment, lake and coastal environments, with a focus on the impact of and adaptation to changing environments.

Water Resources Engineering at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)  offers a comprehensive training in the different aspects of water resources management and engineering, with a focus on the use of numerical simulation tools in a framework of project based learning.

During the Water and Environmental Engineering programme of Aalborg University, you learn to construct systems for water supply and drainage systems. You learn to plan how our groundwater can be utilised and protected, and you gain insight into the protection of our streams, fjords, and seas. 

The River Environments and their Management programme from University of Birmingham is taught by a team of internationally leading water scientists at the University of Birmingham and developed with input from the water industry. To link the theory to the outside world, excursions and fieldwork are a crucial part of many of our modules.

The Hydrogeology programme from University of Birmingham is the longest-running groundwater MSc course in the UK. Our alumni comprise a large proportion of the groundwater professionals in the UK and many more in another 50 or so countries, all contributing significantly to both human and environmental well-being.

The Aquatic Pathobiology programme at University of Stirling gives you a unique opportunity to study the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of aquatic animal diseases in cultured organisms.

The English-taught Master’s programme River Delta Development is a unique joint degree offered by three universities of applied sciences with complementing expertise in the field of water: HZ University of Applied Sciences (coastal regions), Van Hall Larenstein (river systems), and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (urban water).
