Course description.
A shortage of suitably trained, high-calibre graduates available to join the waste management sector will jeopardise its ability to implement the changes required to meet aggressive business targets.
The waste industry recognises that it urgently needs well-qualified, technical staff with management expertise who can meet the challenges of the future waste and resource management agenda. To address this demand, Cranfield have developed the Integrated Waste Management course with considerable input from the sector.

The course is accredited by the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM) and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).

The Integrated Waste Management Centre has access to a number of major research facilities including laboratories at the university. We also have access to major waste management operations in the region. Students go on site visits to industrial facilities, including a three-day UK/International study tour for full-time students.
The course comprises eight one-week assessed modules, a group project, and an individual design project. The Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) and Postgraduate Certificate (PgCert) cover eight and five modules respectively and a design project.

The modules:

The modules include lectures and tutorials and are assessed through written examinations and assignments. These provide the ‘tools’ required for the group and individual projects, which are supported by the waste sector.

The modules are:

• Environmental Regulation in Practice
• Evaluating Sustainability
• Pollution Prevention and Remediation Technologies
• Principles of Sustainability
• Process Emissions and Control
• Risk Management, Toxicology, Exposure and Health
• Waste Disposal and Resource Recovery
• Waste Treatment Processes

Group project:

The group project experience is highly valued by both students and prospective employers. It provides students with the opportunity to take responsibility for a consultancy-type project, while working under academic supervision. Success is dependent on the integration of various activities and working within agreed objectives, deadlines and budgets.

Individual design project:

Students select the individual design project in consultation with the Course Director. The individual project provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to carry out independent research, think and work in an original way, contribute to knowledge, and overcome genuine problems.

Suitable for graduates with science, applied science, engineering, environmental or related disciplines keen to develop their careers in the environment sector. It is also suitable for candidates working in waste management. The part-time option will allow practitioners to extend their professional development in relation to their current employment.

Takes you on to employment in the waste and resource management industry, waste regulation, local authorities, environmental consultancies, process contractors, equipment manufacturers and suppliers serving the international waste and environment sectors. Graduates also go on to research degrees in integrated waste management.
