Microcredential Water Treatment

The water engineering microcredential is a formal qualification and industry specific introduction to water engineering. It provides formal credit for future enrolment in the Urban water graduate certificate and masters programmes and is open to technical professionals who want to enhance their capabilities in water engineering, or enter the water industry.

Enhance your expertise or enter a new field in water management with The University of Queensland's microcredential in Water Treatment. Our specialised courses focus on two critical areas: Wastewater treatment and Drinking water treatment.

Developed and taught by experienced water trainers and professionals, these practical courses offer in-depth training for engineers and professionals working in urban water management, a sector facing increasing challenges from population growth and environmental changes.

Through these programs, you'll gain specialised knowledge and practical skills needed to manage complex water treatment systems, ensure water quality, and implement sustainable solutions for modern urban environments.

Course 1: Wastewater treatment (5 months February-June, fully remote)

Providing engineers with specialised knowledge and skills required to manage urban wastewater treatment systems. As cities become more densely populated and face increasing challenges from emerging pollutants, this course equips you with contemporary solutions for wastewater management. You'll develop technical expertise to understand and solve complex engineering challenges in wastewater treatment, preparing you for a world where water quality and environmental protection are paramount.

Course 2: Drinking water treatment (5 months July-November, fully remote)

Develop advanced expertise in drinking water treatment systems and technologies. With increasing water stress in modern cities, this course provides integrated knowledge of drinking water treatment processes. You'll gain the technical skills needed to ensure safe, reliable drinking water supplies while addressing complex challenges posed by extreme weather events and urbanisation.
