About the course

Water is essential for human life. It is used in households, agriculture, for generating energy and in various other industries. At the same time, humans need protection from the devastating impacts of flooding and other natural disasters involving water.Researchers at the Water and Environment group (aka Centre for Water Systems) focus on addressing a wide range of these challenges across the full water cycle (i.e. from ‘cloud to coast’). The group is particularly focusing on water-related challenges in the urban environment (i.e. cities) across different spatial and temporal scales.These challenges are addressed by developing new methods, tools and ultimately knowledge, often in cooperation with national and international industrial partners, academic and other institutions. The solutions and technologies developed often involve latest informatics type technologies resulting in cost effective, socially acceptable, environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.

　　Career opportunities for engineers are almost limitless and engineers can be found working in the public sector, in health, construction, defence, communications, education, finance and manufacturing. Engineers have a reputation as being articulate, numerate, problem solvers, who claim great job satisfaction, a good salary and a huge range of career possibilities. Salaries are typically significantly higher for engineering graduates than the average for all other graduates.Our students directly benefit from the hundreds of links with industry we have established through collaborative research and consultation. Student projects are usually industrially driven and often directly involve a company. This provides an opportunity for you to undertake commercially important projects at the forefront of technology, gain invaluable experience and enhance your employability.
