Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Get the skills you need to progress your career, with professional development courses from Newcastle University.
Environmental Engineering
Learn the fundamentals of air pollution including a historical perspective, current air quality policies and standards, the sources and effects of major pollutants, and methods to estimate air pollution emissions from road transport and industrial sources.
Introduction to Practical Hydraulics
Learn the founding concepts of hydraulics and how they can be applied to problems in drainage, sewer design, water supply and the specification of pumps, aimed at those without traditional engineering training.
Solid Waste and Resource Management
Gain an understanding of technical issues and the management of solid wastes, including both domestic and international policy, and appropriate methods of storage, collection, transfer, treatment and disposal appropriate for industrialised and developing countries.
Develop an understanding of physical, chemical and biological principles in wastewater assessment and treatment, and develop analytical and molecular microbial ecology skills through laboratory analysis of wastewater and sludge samples.
Gain an understanding of the legal, health and technical aspects of treating water for drinking and industrial purposes, and the principles involved in the design and selection of unit processes for a water treatment plant.
Renewable Energy
Learn the fundamentals of air pollution including a historical perspective, current air quality policies and standards, the sources and effects of major pollutants, and methods to estimate air pollution emissions from road transport and industrial sources.
Discover how both traditional and renewable energy supplies are extracted from the Earth.
Gain an overview of political, environmental and fiscal issues affecting energy management and gain practical tools and techniques to actively manage energy and identify energy efficiency opportunities in your workplace.
Learn the principles and practice of the EIA process and gain hands-on experience and skills.
Learn more about hydro, wind, wave and tidal energy.
The aim of the Introduction to Photovoltaics Module is to introduce primarily non-engineering students to the photovoltaics technologies available.
Gain an appreciation of the political and ethical context of renewable energy at international, national and local level to be able to critically review Government energy strategies.
This module has been developed to enable business enterprise students to physically and economically quantify energy decision making.
The aim of the module is to provide students with comprehensive and systematic knowledge to support the integration and use of hydrogen.
