Master of Philosophy with Specialisation in Integrated Water Management

The MPhil (IWM) equips students to play leadership roles in the critical interface between science and management of water resources. A combination of coursework and research sets this course apart from the normal research-based structure of a masters degree.

While the research component in the form of a masters thesis will form the bulk of the degree weighting, the coursework component exposes students to some of the complex underlying concepts (biological, social and economic) affecting effective water management.

The coursework is designed to properly equip and prepare students to plan and execute a high-quality and practically relevant research project.

The course will provide an integrated approach to managing freshwater resources. It will be taught in a South African context using local case studies and examples wherever possible, while also using expertise and case studies from developed and other developing contexts to provide a distinct international exposure.
