About the course

The MSc in River Environments and their Management at the University of Birmingham examines the interactions between climate, hydrology, geomorphology, ecology, biogeochemical cycling, water and habitat quality and biodiversity. The course uses a combination of lectures, fieldwork experiences, tutorials, laboratory classes, group projects and individual research-based thesis to provide students with the necessary skills for a career in environmental management of rivers. This degree will prepare you for work related careers such as hydroecology or further PhD studies in water science.

Entry Requirements

Normally a 2:1 Honours degree or equivalent in Geography, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Ecology / Biology, Life Sciences, Agricultural Science, Water Management, or a related discipline, with preferably good marks in modules related to hydrology.

In special cases, applications may be considered from those with honours degrees with lower marks or those holding non-graduate qualifications that are deemed by the University to be a satisfactory alternative to an Honours degree in the subject areas mentioned above, for example if the applicant has many years of experience in a relevant field.
