From the bustling campuses of Singapore to the historic halls of Europe and the expansive institutions of the United States, universities across the globe have embraced Flood Modeller as an integral part of their curriculum.



Supporting Global Adoption


With our flexible academic licensing options, an impressive 100 universities in 25 different countries have integrated Jacobs’ industry-leading flood modelling software into their courses. Learning industry skills whilst at university is invaluable for future graduates. It enables them to enter the job market with practical assets that appeal to prospective employers.


Reza Ahmadian, Senior Lecturer and Head of International Engagement at Cardiff University, remarked, “Having access to Flood Modeller as part of our curriculum provides our students with an exceptional opportunity to engage with cutting-edge commercial flood modelling software. This not only enriches their educational experience but also significantly boosts their future career prospects.”


Dr Andrew Lowe, Lecturer at University of Manchester, also commented "Flood Modeller software is central to our teaching of hydrological and hydraulic modelling as part of our MSc in ‘Pollution and Environmental Control’ at the University of Manchester. An annual educational licence provided by Jacobs allows 100+ postgraduate students to learn advanced 1D and 2D hydraulic modelling to examine the movement of water along rivers and on floodplains and in and around complex hydraulic structures.


Commitment To Education


We have been supporting universities for many years, and we strongly believe that investing in education is key to building a stronger entry-level workforce for the future of flood modelling. By partnering with universities and providing them with the tools to teach students commercial modelling software, we are equipping future graduates with essential, cutting-edge skills. This initiative ensures that they are not only prepared but also ahead of the curve as they embark on their professional journeys.


In addition to providing access to the software, we regularly supply universities with a range of ‘getting started’ guides, webinars, and example data sets to get them up and running fast. We also offer on-campus guest lectures, reinforcing theory and demonstrating the capabilities of Flood Modeller using real-world examples.
