Teaching Teaching

Leading research is not possible without an excellent and vigorous undergraduate education program.  Our commitment to our undergraduate students is second to none; indeed we achieved the highest teaching quality assessment of 23/24 in the last TQA review.

In 2006 we expanded our established Masters programme in Coastal Engineering to include an MSc in Flood Risk.
