Water Science and Enginееring

The master’s degree program in Water Science and Engineering offers an interdisciplinary and research-oriented education right at where water-related engineering and natural sciences meet. Graduates of this program are capable of independently developing strategies and technical solutions for sustainable management of water resources. Their complex area of work is located between the conflicting priorities of efficient use of limited water resources, increasing demands in their protection, handling of hydrometeorological extreme events, and impacts of the global change on the water cycle and water-related cycles of materials.

In Advanced Fundamentals, advanced principles of water-related engineering and natural sciences are taught. All students sit in on lecture series about environmental system modeling. Scientific education is supported by profound knowledge of cross-sectional methods and competencies.

The area of specialization comprises three profiles:

• Water Technologies & Urban Water Cycle,
• Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Engineering,
• Environmental System Dynamics & Management.

In an additional profile Water Resources Engineering, "generalist" education in water engineering is possible.

The different choices made within the degree program require compiling a personal study plan for each student. Each student is advised by a mentor who has to be selected before the start of the program.
