Access to clean, safe water resources is essential for sustainable development, integral to our ability to grow food and generate power. This course equips you with the leadership skills, knowledge, and competencies to lead and innovate across the water sector and related industries.

Course overview Subject to validation

The UN goal to ensure safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires investments in critical infrastructure and sustainable technologies to manage the collection, storage, treatment and distribution of water and leaders with the skills and flexibility to respond to the challenge of climate change and related water threats.

Water Management is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the challenges and opportunities of managing water resources in a complex and uncertain world. This MBA in Water Management prepares students to become leaders and innovators in the water sector, with a focus on the Water-Food-Energy Nexus, business, environmental policies, and sustainable technology. Students will gain key managerial skills for the water and environmental sectors, through the development of responsible leadership skills and water management expertise.

You will study responsible leadership, sustainable business strategy, and financial decision making, which comprise the foundation of the MBA curriculum. Your specialist focus will be sustainable water management and water policy as well as modules on climate change and managing global soils.

The course aims to develop responsible leaders in water management with the knowledge and flexibility to successfully respond to complex problems within the integrated water, stormwater, and wastewater sectors. You can choose to focus on a specific challenge for your dissertation topic, which will be supported by a research skills module to equip you with the skills required to develop and execute your own research investigation.
