36 MSc/PgD Waste Management Contact: Lynnette Bowie E: lynnette.bowie@gcal.ac.uk T: +44(0)141 331 3022 W: www.caledonian.ac.uk/bne Waste management is a central element in sustainable development. It is recognised that the current volume of waste produced, and the methods used for disposal of the wastes, are not compatible with principles of sustainability. Both UK and EU legislation has major implications for the waste management industry. This programme was developed to meet the growing demand for waste managers and waste minimisation practitioners. It takes account of recent developments in waste management and is designed for students to acquire the understanding and skills necessary to meet the present needs and future challenges of waste management agencies and industries. Although much of the details of waste management regulations and practice are based on the requirements of the industry in both the UK and EU, the principles have a much wider application and hence the programme is also designed to appeal to those intending to practice overseas. The applied nature of the subject is recognised and a variety of practical aspects are included in the modules. This programme has been accredited by CIWM (Chartered Institution of Wastes Management) and successful completion of the programme contributes a total number of 33 days towards the structured education and training scheme of the institution. Waste management in the UK is a multi-million pound industry and offers a variety of career opportunities, with a range of different employers, such as: local authorities, regulatory bodies, water companies, waste disposal organisations, environmental monitoring organisations, environment consultancies and organisations involved with identification and remediation of contaminated land. There is considerable demand for waste managers and waste minimisation practitioners both in Europe and further afield. The normal entry qualification is an Honours degree (2:2 and above) in science or engineering from a British university, or an equivalent overseas qualification. Applicants with other qualifications may be accepted to the PgD or PgC from which they may proceed to a Masters degree, subject to satisfactory performance under the normal progression regulations. Candidates with relevant work experience are particularly encouraged to apply.
