Summary
**Make a difference to water and sanitation with your career choices**
Many people living in urban and rural areas of low and middle-income countries (LMIC) do not have access to safe water and sanitation service delivery. To achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), there is an urgent need to quadruple our current rate of global progress, which makes it necessary to build the relevant capacity to address this.
Our MSc in Water and Sanitation for Development will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver water supply and sanitation services around the world to protect public health and improve lives. It will enable you to develop a critical appreciation of the complexities that shape the sector and motivate you to make a real difference responding to it.
The MSc is delivered by our world leading experts and developed in partnership with a wide range of organisations and institutions from the water and sanitation sector. You will have the opportunity to conduct your thesis on a real-life project and benefit from professional development that will shape you into a leader equipped to solve global water and sanitation challenges.
This course also has PgDip and PgCert options.
**Who is it for?**
This course is ideal for graduates who wish to progress their career in the planning, implementation and management of sustainable water supply and sanitation projects to low- and middle-income countries. The course comprises assessed modules, group projects and an individual project. The modules include lectures, tutorials, practicals, simulations and workshops with an emphasis on analysis of real problems, with practical field work to reinforce learning.
**Why this course?**
Although much progress has been made over the last few decades, more than one billion people still lack access to a safe, reliable and affordable water supply; and more than twice that number lack access to basic sanitation.
- Teaching is by a research-active faculty who work in developing countries, enabling you to benefit from real-world case studies throughout the course.
- There is opportunity to work on a real-life WASH project in a developing country for your thesis project.
- The courses includes participation in a real-world borehole drilling course and other practical sessions to put theory into practice.
- Innovative teaching practices including ‘flipped classrooms’ and student-led exercises are a core key feature of the course.
- The course is supported by an active network of alumni with over 30 years’ worth of experience working in the WASH sector.
Graduates of the Water and Sanitation for Development MSc will be able to:
- Plan and design sanitation facilities and water sources in rural areas of lower-income countries;
- Critically evaluate water, sanitation and hygiene programmes and water resource management methods;
- Explain different management and finance models and evaluate how these might ensure access for the poorest;
- Assess how water, sanitation and hygiene services might vary in different contexts, specifically rural, urban and emergencies.
