Water Resources Management

You will learn advanced water and environmental engineering, developing the skills to:

• apply and synthesise water and environmental engineering theories in solving practical cases
• create and design models to be used in areas such as water resources and water quality management
• adapt hydro-environmental data analysis methods at advanced level
• integrate modelling technology and consolidate GIS applications in forming comprehensive water resources management systems
• develop advanced skills to communicate with water and environmental related professionals

Also key to the degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your master thesis.

Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.
