IAHR awards the second and third IAHR Label for Water Training and Education

The IAHR Label for Water Training and Education is awarded jointly by IAHR and UNESCO under the Intergovernmental Hydrological Program (IHP) to institutions promoting and implementing excellence in training and education programs for competent and skillful professionals in the water sector. This distinction highlights the commitment of IAHR and UNESCO-IPH to educational excellence, fostering innovative and sustainable solutions to address global water challenges.

IAHR awards the IAHR Label for Water Training and Education to the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney for the following:

• Master of Engineering Science (8338 MEngSc) “Water Engineering: Catchments to Coast”

• Water engineering specialisation in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil and Environmental Engineering (3707)
  

 Master of Engineering Science (8338 MEngSc) "Water Engineering: Catchments to Coast"

The 8338 Master of Engineering Science (MEngSc) in Water Engineering: Catchments to Coast provides students with advanced study options in Water Engineering. It is designed to develop skills in analysis and design across the disciplines of engineering hydrology, engineering hydraulics, groundwater, estuary and port engineering, coastal and marine engineering. It is ideally suited for both practising water engineers and recent graduates planning a career in water engineering.

The program provides students opportunities for continuing professional development. The program is designed so that students develop their technical knowledge and ability to analyse engineering problems. They also gain further skills in solving engineering problems and justifying professional decisions. Further, students develop their skills in project planning and the ability to analyse, interpret and communicate results proficiently via a complex, openended project.

 Water engineering specialisation in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil and Environmental Engineering (3707)

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers single (4 year) Bachelor of Engineering Honours programs in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering with Architecture, and Surveying. In addition, the School offers a wide range of increasingly popular combined/dual degree programs (5-6 years) in whichstudents can combine their engineering studies with degrees in Arts, Science, Computer Science, Law and Commerce.

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering contributes significant knowledge to a diverse range of areas within the fields of civil and environmental engineering, and surveying and geospatial engineering. Research within the School is diverse and broadly covers seven major areas, including Engineering Construction and Management, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Surveying and Geospatial Engineering, Transport Engineering and Water Engineering.

The School’s undergraduate programs offer students a comprehensive civil, environmental and surveying engineering education and the opportunity to specialise in their final year in a range of sub-disciplines. Civil engineering students may choose specialisations in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering; transport engineering; project management or water engineering.

Accreditation was awarded from the water engineering specialisation which is achieved through the selection of water engineering electives by students typically in the 4th year of the degree. These water engineering electives are tailored to provide graduates water engineering specific knowledge that allows them to work in the diverse area of water engineering.
