Course summary

Overview If you want to pursue a career that uses data to tackle water and environmental challenges, both locally and globally, this MSc will equip you with the fundamental scientific and data analysis skills to do so. You will develop a solid, discipline-specific background in water and environmental science, with an emphasis on hydrology theory combined with practical skills in AI and modelling. We teach both academic and practical skills, so that you discover how you can contribute sustainable, data-driven, nature-based solutions to problems that range from flooding to environmental degradation, and from water scarcity to pollution of rivers. The choice of optional units means that you can choose the right balance of computing and practical skills, from large-scale data engineering to environmental impact assessment. These are valuable technical skills which are increasingly in demand in this field, including in the areas of: environmental protection the design of resilient infrastructure and cities mitigation and adaption to the effects of rapid urbanisation, climatechangeand extreme weather. Our teaching staff include leading water researchers at the University of Bristol with close links to the Cabot Institute for the Environment and environmental practitioners with experience in private and government sectors, such as the Environment Agency and the Met Office. The University of Bristol’s Civil Engineering programme is ranked 8th in the UK (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025).
