This MSc, PgDip and PgCert has been accredited by the  Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.  Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).  An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng).  Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.

CIWEM is a professional body for engineers, scientists and other professionally qualified personnel engaged in water and environmental management.

This accreditation acknowledges the relevance of the course to the water management practitioner community; the quality of the learning environment at Cranfield University; and the experience and expertise of the teaching team.
