Education and Training
MSc Water Security and International Development
This innovative MSc programme interprets ‘water security' in its broad political ecology and political economy sense, and critically reflects on the practical and theoretical dimensions of ‘water security' drawing on the latest research and practice. Students will graduate with the knowledge and tools to understand the wider context, whilst being able to audit the water security of a system of interest; be it nation, region, company, sector, project or household.
