The Centre for Water Systems offers a course which will appeal to anyone interested in urban water management, artificial intelligence, hydroinformatic tools or water research in general. All modules are designed to allow students to expand their basic knowledge of real-life problems in the management of urban water systems, and to give them an opportunity to gain practical experience required by leading employers.

The STREAM EngD handbook, which provides the information about the programme,  can be downloaded here.

The main features offered by the stream programme are:

• Fees plus enhanced stipend for well qualified UK students
• Access to masters level training at five leading universities
• Opportunity to develop and deliver a leading contribution to  scientific research
• Strong career development programme targeted at producing future engineering leaders
• Challenge Week held in July each year including advanced transferable skills training, guest lectures from leading industrialists and scientists, design and problem solving challenges
• Yearly symposium held in December each year at which all stream Research Engineers present their work to sector stakeholders
• Opportunities to present papers at conferences and author academic journal papers
• Free membership of the International Water Association and one other professional institution for four years
• Opportunities to undertake study visits to leading overseas academic research groups

The first year of the four-year programme provides 24 weeks of teaching which is summarized by exams and a summer project. This compulsory part of the course covers most of the essential areas of knowledge for urban water engineers. In addition, all students are required to complete a further module of their choice.
