Overview
The Water Science, Policy and Management course at the University of Oxford comprises eight core modules within three thematic areas – water science, water and society, and water management. These modules are assessed by written examination. You also study two electives which are each assessed through a essay.
The water science theme develops knowledge and understanding in physical, chemical, ecological and epidemiological aspects of water science in temperate, tropical and semi-arid zones. It provides a foundation in basic processes in each key subject area, as well as interactions throughout the hydrological cycle, and the role of society in altering natural hydrological processes and ecosystem function, and the impact this has on health.
Supervision
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the School of Geography and the Environment and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the School of Geography and the Environment.
Graduate destinations
The aim of the course is to train future decision makers, managers and policy makers in water policy and management.
