MSc Water Science, Policy and Management alumnus wins Olympic rowing gold

Andy Hodge graduated from the MSc in Water Science, Policy and Management in 2005 as well as stroking Oxford’s blue boat to success in the university boat race in 2005. He was awarded a MBE in 2009 and is one of the world’s most decorated rowers with an earlier Olympic gold from Beijing (2008). The teaching staff believe Andy’s firm grasp of channel hydrology, climate variability and water politics helped him secure his second gold medal!
