### Professional accreditation and recognition

**Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM)**

This course is accredited by the [Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management](http://www.ciwem.org/) (CIWEM)

**Joint Board of Moderators (JBM)**

This degree is accredited by the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) comprising of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Institution of Structural Engineers, Institute of Highway Engineers, the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation and the Permanent Way Institution on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the academic requirement for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). To hold accredited qualifications for CEng registration, candidates must also hold a Bachelor (Hons) degree that has been accredited as partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). See [www.jbm.org.uk](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/degrees/5408f/www.jbm.org.uk) for further information.

\*It should be noted that candidates completing the MSc who hold an underpinning accredited Bachelor degree accredited for IEng only or a non-accredited bachelor degree will need to apply for an academic assessment to determine whether they will meet the educational base for CEng registration.

All professional accreditations are reviewed regularly by their professional body

[Recognition of professional qualifications outside of the UK](#) 

If you’re studying an **accredited degree** and thinking about working in Europe after you graduate, the best place to find current information is the [UK Government’s guidance on recognition of UK professional qualifications in EU member states](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/recognition-of-uk-professional-qualifications-in-eu-member-states/recognition-of-uk-professional-qualifications-in-eu-member-states). This official resource explains whether your profession is regulated in another country, what steps you need to take, and which organisation you should contact.

> I enjoyed the classes and having a variety of lecturers for a single module. It was great to have each topic presented by experts in the field. Dr Hewett and Dr Blenkinsop have an excellent ability to present complex concepts in an understandable way.

## Your development

### Technical skills

You'll be guided throughout the course by our teaching team. They'll help you to develop your technical understanding and skills through a range of learning and teaching approaches. These include:

- lectures and seminars from leading academics, researchers, and experts from a range of industry organisations
- hands-on field and computer-based studies

These are supported by individual and group tutorials, and the individual research project.

### Transferable skills

These are structured through the programme to help you gain confidence in key transferable skills including:

- critical evaluation and design
- individual time and project management
- working with colleagues
- writing for technical audiences
- presenting ideas orally with confidence

### Intellectual and practical skills

On completion of the course, you will have developed intellectual and practical skills relevant to industry including:

- how to apply appropriate mathematical methods for modelling and analysing relevant problems
- using scientific principles to develop mathematical and environmental solutions to practical problems
- creating new methodologies or guidance by combining ideas from a wide range of sources
- planning, executing and reporting research projects
- using instrumentation, IT tools and hydroinformatic technologies, including coding

### Field activity

You'll be taken on a series of ‘hydrological walks’ in the Newcastle area. You'll be able to see:

- hydrological processes
- field methods
- water management issues and practices

You'll also be able to see how natural hydrological behaviour interacts with, and is modified by, built infrastructure, including:

- sustainable drainage systems
- catchment scale engineering (working with natural systems)
- flood management features

In addition to seeing standard industry practice, many of these are based around our current research which is advancing the field. An example is the National Green Infrastructure Facility (NGIF), located on part of the campus in Newcastle city centre. Together with specific field activities such as river gauging, these walks build understanding that directly feeds into class-based modelling and assessment exercises.
