Master of Water Resource Management

What is this course about?

CSU's Master of Water Resource Management provides the knowledge required for upper level management of the nationally significant issue of water sustainability facing Australia.

Due to its location in the Murray Darling Basin, Charles Sturt University is uniquely placed to offer the knowledge and skills to address the nationally significant issues facing Australia with respect to water use and sustainability.

The use of water in Australia is the biggest issue facing the sustainability of our natural and agricultural resources. Increased frequency of droughts, climate variability and increased demands create issues that require a knowledge of both the ecology as well as the policy and management issues that are inexctricably linked to water use in Australia.

This course provides the knowledge required for upper level management of these issues and are particularly suited to those who wish to equip themselves with the ability to continue to address these issues in the future.

Exit points from the Master program are provided at the Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma levels. This structure provides considerable flexibility allowing students to quickly gain the water resource management related knowledge and qualification they need today, and to add to their credentials at a later date if necessary.

There is a practical component associated with this course.
