Water Science and Management

Introduction

Freshwater in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world is facing more pressure than ever before. Balancing the often competing needs of people and ecosystems requires an integrated approach that is forward-thinking and courageous. Our courses help people begin or progress their career in water science and management. The postgraduate programmes are offered in joint partnership between UC and Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki | Lincoln University, through the Waterways Centre for Freshwater Management.

Whether your ambition is to be a researcher, consultant, or something out-of-the-box, we have the pathway to get you there. Our range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses are taught out of UC and Lincoln universities, by leading experts in the field.
