Course content

This MRes programme aims to provide the students with programmes of the necessary advanced, technical, professional and specialised study skills within the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, and to develop a critical awareness of the advanced techniques and technological advances available to conduct state of the art research in these areas. Students have the opportunity to explore these in experiment and modelling oriented projects, and complete the course by analysis and interpretation of research results and writing up a dissertation for examination according to the established procedure at the University of Nottingham. By taking a multi-disciplinary approach to teaching and learning the subject, the course aims to provide a more robust understanding of the subject and the ability to apply it in industrial practices or further studies.

The specific objectives are as follows:

• to encourage integration between the separate disciplinary areas;
• to propel the development of new ideas, knowledge and techniques applicable in environmental management and design of environmental engineering systems;
• to develop the students' transferable skills in research methods at the postgraduate level;
• to facilitate an in-depth investigation of a relevant topic through independent research.
