International WaterCentre Scholarships now open
The International WaterCentre (IWC) will be offering up to two full tuition scholarships ($49,920) for high calibre domestic candidates to study the IWC Master of Integrated Water Management (MIWM) next year.
The MIWM program is designed to equip future water leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to create innovative, whole-of-water-cycle solutions to local and global water challenges. The degree is co-badged and co-taught by IWC’s four founding member universities: The University of Queensland, Griffith University, Monash University and The University of Western Australia.
Three specialisation streams are available including ‘International development’; ‘Urban water’ and ‘Water, land and people’.
Students who select the ‘Urban Water Stream’ participate in the Urban futures: delivering water sensitive cities module developed in cooperation with the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities (CRCWSC). This module brings together insights from the CRCWSC program to enable the adoption of water sensitive planning and design principles in support of cities making the transition towards liveable, sustainable, productive and resilient water futures.
The next intake will commence in Semester 1, 2015 and scholarships are available for full-time (1.5 years) or part-time/distance study.
Water Leadership Program Scholarships
IWC is also offering several full ($10,000) and half ($5,000) scholarships for the next round of the IWC Water Leadership Program.
Designed for emerging leaders at the project to middle management level, this professional development program helps participants to develop the abilities they need to exert influence, drive change and advance challenging integrated water management projects.
The 2014/15 program will start in December and run for nine months with two face-to-face intensive sessions in Brisbane and various distance/online elements including coaching.
The program is supported by the Australian Water Association (AWA) and the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) and won the 2013 Stormwater Industry Association of Queensland (SIAQ) Award for Excellence in Policy and Education.
***Applications for the IWC Masters Scholarships will remain open until 1 October for domestic candidates and applications for the Water Leadership Program Scholarships will remain open until 15 September.***
