Robert Collins

Student | MSc River Basin Dynamics and Management with GIS

There has been a wide variety of projects during my masters. I developed a tool that can be used to model flood flows across a landscape automatically. This tool would be useful in the real world assisting in NGO preparation for flood events.

MA/MSc by Research

We also offer an MA or MSc by Research. This is distinct from our taught Masters programmes and involves planning, implementing and writing up a research project. You will be supervised by two members of academic staff and will be encouraged to submit your work for publication at the end of the course.
