This MSc trains the next generation of sustainable hydrogeologists to manage groundwater resources under threats from over‑exploitation, anthropogenic contamination, climate change, and land‑use change, with emphasis on ethical, sustainable practice and quantitative, computational analysis alongside traditional field skills. Students study water resources management, geofluid interactions (e.g., compressed air, methane, hydrogen), energy and waste storage (including CO2 and nuclear), remediation of brownfield and legacy mining sites, and wider groundwater issues such as legislation, economics, climate change, land use and sustainability. The curriculum comprises compulsory and optional courses plus a dissertation; a published Degree Programme Table details core modules such as Applied Hydrogeology and Near Surface Geophysics, Hydrogeological Environments and Characterisation, and an Environmental Site Assessment Project, with a structured menu of options (e.g., Water Resource Management, Environmental Impact Assessment, Nuclear Waste Management). Note: the University’s 2025 Degree Finder states the programme is closed and no longer accepting applications (update dated 14 Feb 2025); applicants may consider the MSc GeoEnergy as an alternative. 来源： https://postgraduate.degrees.ed.ac.uk/index.php?r=site%2FbySubject&edition=2025&sid=11 https://eng.ed.ac.uk/studying/degrees/postgraduate-taught-masters https://science-engineering.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate-applicants-2025
