About CWM

The Centre for Waste Management was established to provide a focus for existing waste/environmental research and course provision within the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Central Lancashire. Our staff are highly qualified experts in their chosen field and experienced in working with the public and private sectors. We provide internationally recognised formal post-graduate qualifications in addition to business-focused short courses and bespoke training.

The Faculty has provided post-graduate waste management courses since 1991 and has over 150 graduates. Our graduates are now working both in the UK and overseas in senior positions in waste operation and regulation within the private, statutory and voluntary sectors. Others are developing successful careers in related fields of environmental management and industry.
