Understanding the challenges and issues we encounter with regards to water quantity and water quality is therefore paramount to sustaining both our lives and the world around us. The MSc in Sustainable Water Management is designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge and other key competencies needed to pursue a fulfilling career in the water sector itself or in related sectors where water has a vital role. Complete the MSc in Sustainable Water Management will empower you to make tangible positive impacts to make valuable contributions to the communities around you.

The MSc in Sustainable Water Management is suitable for anyone wishing to pursue a career within the water sector or related sectors, either in the UK or other parts of the world.

Our programme is unique in that it is taught jointly by university academics and professionals from established environmental companies, including JBA Consulting and the Environment Agency. Experts from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), which has one of its major research facilities based at Lancaster, also contribute to the programme. This extensive range of expertise and connections provides you with valuable real-world insights, opening doors to future career opportunities.
