Summary
Solutions to mitigate flood and pollution risk and better utilise water supplies for societal, economic and environmental gain requires world-leading hydrologists to design, implement, manage and evaluate. The PGDip Flood and Water Management programme at Lancaster is specifically designed to enhance your skills and your potential to be a world-leading hydrologist.
You will have the opportunity to develop your graduate and/or professional skills in the use of field technology and state-of-the-art models using both industry-standard procedures and next generation approaches. You will develop new insights into contemporary water issues and optimal ways to resolve them.
Training is delivered by a combination of leading academics and industry practitioners from environmental protection company JBA Consulting meaning you receive direct input from professionals working in the field, giving you the skills that employers require.
Flexible training We offer both full and part-time versions of this programme. Our flexible approach means you can start your training at any point. You may wish to enrol at the traditional academic start of the semester in Autumn or begin at any point in the academic year. This is particularly helpful for those taking the part-time option.
The in-person components are taught over intensive 2-3 contiguous-day activities to support those undertaking the programme part-time and provide a depth of focused learning for full-time participants.
Who is this programme for? You may be a graduate that has enjoyed hydrology aspects of your degree and would like to develop your hydrological skills to start a career with an organisation in the national or international water sector. Or you may be a practitioner working within environmental consultancies, government agencies and planning departments, water companies and water-focused charities who wishes to develop skills in flood and/or water management as part of your professional and career development.
Looking ahead to employability Your qualification will show to others (employers, professional organisations, contractors, peers) that you:
-
Can assemble a systematic knowledge of current ideas and issues at the forefront of hydrological science and professional practice
-
Are able to evaluate a wide range of field- and numerical-techniques applicable to scientific research in hydrology and professional practice in flood and wider water management
-
Can appraise complex issues in the water environment, often with incomplete information, to make sound judgements
What to expect Training is delivered in a friendly, interactive and professional atmosphere with hands-on practical experience throughout. This practical work involves both field exercises and use of the latest industry standard models – delivered by leaders in field hydrology and commercial modelling in the UK.
We offer two pathways with dedicated modules to tailor your training. Each pathway has a set of three core modules and a selection of optional modules of which you will choose three:
Flood risk This pathway provides core training focused on flood mitigation, covering topics such as sustainable urban drainage, floodplain restoration and flood forecasting.
Water management This pathway provides core training focused on mitigating pollution of water resources, managing water supplies and advanced monitoring technologies.
Three things we’d like you to know - Lancaster is well situated for field work. We have natural water sources all around; water treatment works; and a number of areas under flood risk
-
You will work with the latest field technology and models used by industry
-
You will learn alongside recent graduates and experienced industry practitioners to gain much from peer-to-peer learning and networking opportunities
