The M.Sc. programme will convey knowledge about the protection and management of water resources in different climatic zones as well as about designing and constructing water supplies and waste water treatment. The study course is separated into basic and advanced classes during the first three semester. A final semester is dedicated primarily to the Master's thesis. During the basic classes, students attend lectures on statistics, meteorology, hydrology, geodesy, and soils. Students with a degree in environmental sciences need to take classes in hydromechanics and hydraulic engineering. Students with a degree in engineering need to study ecology and hydrochemistry. During the advanced classes, students have to choose five of the following nine modules:

global change;
hydrogeology;
aquatic ecology;
system analysis;
watershed management;
water quality;
urban water;
biotechnology;
flood risk management I/II.

In addition, several study projects are required.

The graduate programme focuses on the transdisciplinary fields of water and natural resources management and engineering in different climatic zones. It is designed to enable the participants to acquire and expand their professional and methodological qualifications. This programme meets international standards required to pursue and develop their careers within national and international authorities and organisations, engineering and consulting enterprises as well as research work.

Applications have to be submitted in English. Information for the application procedure:
