Summary
The postgraduate course in Flood Risk Assessment, Modelling and Engineering (FRAME) addresses challenges and skills gaps in the area of flood risk management and engineering. The course is designed for individuals working or intending to work in an industry related to flood management and seeking to develop/enhance knowledge and skills specific to a role in flood modelling, urban drainage design, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), resilience and adaptation, natural flood management or flood mapping technologies. The course has been co-designed with flood risk practitioners and offers a flexible and applied approach, allowing participants the option to study while remaining in the workplace – putting theory into practice.
Why study this course with us?
FRAME offers a flexible and distinctive 'blended approach' (classroom/field-based block delivery and online learning) to acquiring a postgraduate qualification. The combination of on-site and online learning enables prospective students to study while remaining in the workplace should they wish to do so.
The course offers participants practical, flood-relevant experience that provides a sound basis to seek or continue a career in the water and environmental sectors.
You will gain experience by utilising the latest technological innovations in the field of flood risk assessment, including the following:
- Augmented reality
- Hazard simulations
- Virtual tours
- GIS and remote sensing
- 3D mapping and modelling
- Reality capture
- Drone mapping
- Advance flood visualisation
You will benefit from regular engagement with practitioners, enabling you to develop practical and applied knowledge and skills in flood management.
Key parts of the course are field visits to local, national and international sites to augment and enhance your knowledge and practical skills.
We will encourage you to undertake projects and work in collaboration with employers to address directly key societal and industry-focused challenges associated with flood risk.
