... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

Although much progress has been made over the last few decades, more than one billion people still lack access to a safe, reliable, and affordable water supply; and more than twice that number lack access to basic sanitation.

  • Teaching is by a research-active faculty who work in developing countries, enabling you to benefit from real-world case studies throughout the course.

  • There is an opportunity to work on a real-life WASH project in a developing country for your thesis project.

  • The courses include participation in a real-world borehole drilling course and other practical sessions to put theory into practice.

  • Innovative teaching practices including ‘flipped classrooms and student-led exercises are a core key feature of the course.

  • The course is supported by an active network of alumni with over 30 years' worth of experience working in the WASH sector.

Graduates of the Water and Sanitation for Development MSc will be able to:

  • Plan and design sanitation facilities and water sources in rural areas of lower-income countries.

  • Critically evaluate water, sanitation, and hygiene programs and water resource management methods.

  • Explain different management and finance models and evaluate how these might ensure access for the poorest.

  • Assess how water, sanitation, and hygiene services might vary in different contexts, specifically rural, urban, and emergency.
