JOIN US TO PLAY YOUR PART IN THE SOLUTION OF GLOBAL HUMANITARIAN CHALLENGES.

Humanitarian Engineering is the use of science and engineering to invent, create, design, develop, or improve technologies that promote the wellbeing of communities facing grand humanitarian challenges. The course spans a broad range of disciplines and is ideal for those looking to explore all the professional and disciplinary facets of humanitarian challenges. You will become a highly trained professional with a broad perspective, equipped with skills dedicated to tackle all aspects of real-world humanitarian problems.

The increasing number of global humanitarian challenges urges us to rethink the role we play. This interdisciplinary hands-on approach will enable you to learn the reality of what it’s like to work within social, economic, legal, ethical and other constraints, and how innovative thinking is required to solve acute real-world problems. Postgraduate Award, Certificate and Diploma options are specially designed to support professional development for those already working in the field or interested in humanitarian engineering.

Humanitarian Engineering graduates will be well-placed to work with governments (e.g. central banks, ministries of finance, rural development, and education). You'll gain skills that are sought after by multilateral development institutions (e.g. World Bank, IMF, United Nations), NGOs and the private sector (e.g. professional services, manufacturing, and investment banking). You may also decide to pursue PhD studies.

PGCert, PGDip and PGA options are also available

"Msc Humanitarian Engineering and Sustainability

is an exciting and unique course, combining theory and practice. What I loved the most is its diversity, not only of the course but also of the cohort, offering a holistic and multi-disciplinary perspective. This master was the opportunity for me to redirect my energy engineering expertise to a humanitarian cause aligning with my values and work for international development institutions

such as the United Nations.”
