About the scheme

The British Hydrological Society, Environment Agency and JBA Trust are delighted to support the MSc Studentship Award Scheme again in 2017.

The award scheme supports talented students wishing to pursue development of their academic experience and qualifications in hydrology and catchment management. Graduates of MSc courses play a vital part in the future management of the water environment.

Hydrology is the science that underpins some of the biggest challenges we face across the globe. Water availability is key to the survival of individuals, communities and economies, whilst it can also devastate on the same scales. Changes in climate and population mean that these challenges are growing, making hydrological science more relevant than ever.

As a hydrologist, your role could involve analysing data to understand natural and human-made systems, as well as providing practical information to decision-makers that will have a direct impact on people's lives

The closing date for applications is 16 July 2017.
