MSc Water Resource Engineering at NUI Galway:
Water Engineering has been taught at the graduate level at NUIG for over 40 years. This course provides engineers with the technical competence to provide solutions to clean water along with the opportunity to study economics and project management of giant projects. The key component of this program is to focus on understanding and using modern hydraulic modeling tools and working in design groups.
Career Opportunities
Traditionally around 50% of civil engineers are employed in the water industry. This is set to increase. Existing water infrastructure is straining to meet current demands. Population growth, increasing urbanization, climate change and increasing energy demands are placing unprecedented pressures on our finite water resources. More water resource engineers are required to ensure the provision of sustainable and safe water supplies into the future.
