Students will study a wide range of water engineering subjects including fluid mechanics and hydrology, water and wastewater treatment, water infrastructure, and water processing and distribution systems.

There are generic modules on finance and sustainable project management and students will also be introduced to issues relating to risk and health and safety.

Students have access to Brunel's custom-designed technical facilities that include hydraulic benches and flumes to work on their laboratory experiments. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for students to use in the purpose-built computer laboratories.

Through the Visiting Professors Scheme student learning is enhanced via a series of specialist lectures on industry practice. In addition, guest speakers from leading industrial partners provide a valuable insight into water engineering and students will also benefit from site visits to water treatment plants.

This MSc water engineering course is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM). The JBM comprises the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, and the Institute of Highway Engineers on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for a Chartered Engineer (CEng) for candidates who have already acquired a partial CEng accredited undergraduate first degree.
