MSc Flood and Coastal Engineering (with Project Risk Management)

  • DeadlineStudy Details: MSc 1 year full-time 14 months full-time 2 or 3 years part-time

Masters Degree Description

This master’s course will teach you how to apply cutting-edge technology and tools such as machine learning and AI to solve a range of flood and coastal engineering problems. Particular emphasis will be given to the challenges of climate change and to the introduction of modern techniques such as sustainability assessment, data analytics and machine learning. These will give you a range of sought-after skills and substantially increase your employability within the flood and coastal engineering sector.

The programme of study has been designed with close reference to the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with several modules focused directly on the impact of climate change. It’s an approach that matches both the Engineering Council’s AHEP4 accreditation requirements, and the position adopted by all the major Engineering professional bodies.

You’ll have access to our custom-designed technical facilities that include hydraulic benches and flumes to work on your laboratory experiments. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for you to use in the purpose-built computer laboratories.

Entry Requirements

A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in a directly related subject including Civil Engineering, Flood And Coastal Engineering, Water and Drainage Engineering, Geo technical Engineering, Environmental Engineering

Alternatively, we will happily consider applicants with the following profiles but may need to refer these to our academic department to review as well.

A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in a non-directly related subject including Surveying; Physics; Maths; Geography, Geology, Environmental Sciences, Marine Biology with Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics modules with good grades and any relevant work experience

OR

A 2:2 (or above) UK Honours degree or an equivalent internationally recognised qualification in other subjects without evidence of Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulics but with relevant work experience

Please note: relevant work experience could include time spent working in water and environmental organisations and companies (e.g. Thames Water, the Environment Agency, Canal and River Trust). However, if you have any relevant work experience and would like to be considered for the course you should apply and we will review your application.
