Introduction
Our Master's in Water, Waste, and Environmental Engineering with Industrial Practice is ideal for graduates seeking roles in sectors such as water resource engineering and waste management.
This course gives you the skills to design and develop new concepts for water and waste that are environmentally friendly. It combines science, public health, and engineering, so you will develop the skills to cover the technical elements of natural and engineering environmental systems. You'll also learn to handle the full delivery process of engineered and natural water and earth resources, from the planning and design stage to construction and maintenance.
Our two-year course is aimed at graduates from environmental engineering backgrounds who want to apply sustainability strategies to complex problems. It will also suit those wishing to develop their careers in fields around environmental engineering - from water reuse to desalination - or in related commercial enterprises. The course includes a project and a one-year internship with a related employer in the field, allowing you to put your learning into practice and gain vital career skills.
What you should know about this course
- Ideal for graduates looking to apply new sustainable strategies to increasingly complex problems in environmental engineering.
- You are responsible for securing your placement (with our help). But if this is not completed, you can still graduate with an award without industrial practice.
- This course is taught at our Medway Campus in Kent.

Career Opportunities
Will I have a work placement?
The industrial placement is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge and experience you gain during your first year on the program. You will engage with current industrial systems, processes, and practices, which contribute to your professional development in the engineering sector.
How long is my placement?
An industrial practice placement should typically last 11 months, with a maximum of 48 weeks, and a minimum of 35 weeks (only if required by the student placement search process).
Mentors
A workplace mentor supports you during your placement, helping you to set objectives and goals, and ensuring you receive appropriate training.
You will also be allocated an academic mentor who monitors your written work. The academic mentor will engage with you to ensure your placement is running smoothly.
What sort of careers do graduates pursue?
You'll gain the skills to progress in environmental engineering, desalination and water reuse, water resources engineering, hydraulics and hydrology, environmental fluid hydraulics, environmental remediation, waste management, and other specialties valued in the private and public sectors.
Do you provide employability services?
As well as support from the Faculty of Engineering and Science Placements Team, the University partners with an organization that specializes in guiding students to secure an industrial practice placement. However, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to secure an appropriate placement. This could be with a local or international employer in a relevant industrial sector.
If a placement is not secured, it is still possible to graduate with an MSc without the endorsement of Industrial Practice.
