Course structure
The Advanced Water Management programme is made up of three components: a formal taught component comprising eight modules (40%), Group Project (20%) and Individual Thesis Project (40%).
Individual project
You will be able to select your individual project in consultation with the thesis project coordinators. The individual thesis project provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to carry out independent research, think and work in an original way, contribute to knowledge, and solve real-world problems. You have the choice to work on projects sponsored by industry or related to current research projects at Cranfield.
Group project
A unique component of a Cranfield University taught MSc is the group project. Group projects are usually sponsored by industry partners and provide students with the experience of working on real challenges in the workplace along with skills in team working, managing resources and developing reporting and presentation skills. Experience gained is highly valued by both students and prospective employers.
