Cranfield University, the UK’s only wholly postgraduate university specialising in science, technology, engineering and management, is preparing for its first Summer School focusing on its expertise in environment and water.
The Summer School runs from Monday 11-Friday 22 June 2012 and will cover land, water, health, energy and planning. The sponsor is Dr Tom Stephenson FREng, Lorch Professor of Water Sciences, AEESP member and Head of Cranfield’s School of Applied Sciences. Dr Stephenson said “The students will benefit from Cranfield’s internationally recognised scholars who have many years of experience in their fields, bridging the gap between academia, the environment and the economy.”
The programme comprises a combination of lectures, practicals and field trips, culminating in a course forum for presentation and debate of the issues on ‘the living land’, profit from waste, water recycling, wind turbine location and health and environmental impact.
The course has been developed for graduates and final year undergraduate students from UK/EU and international universities and colleges, providing undergraduates with cutting edge research-led teaching in their chosen area of study, insight into studying in the UK, and a route into postgraduate studies as they accumulate credits which may count towards their continued studies.
