- Description/content
- This advanced modular degree programme offers an interdisciplinary, research-oriented education at the interface between water-related engineering and natural sciences. This includes an efficient use of limited water resources, implementing increasing requirements for the protection of water bodies, handling of hydro-meteorological extreme events, and mitigating the impacts of global change on the water cycle and related material cycles.
Students extend their knowledge of scientific and engineering fundamentals from their undergraduate studies. They complement this in-depth knowledge with engineering and scientific methods.
The MSc in Water Science and Engineering imparts expert knowledge in the following areas:
• water technology and urban water management
• fluid mechanics and hydraulic engineering
• earth system science and water resources management
Topics include:
• the efficient use of limited water resources
• implementing increasing requirements for the protection of water bodies
• handling of hydro-meteorological extreme events
• mitigating the impacts of global change on the water cycle and related material cycles
