Transnational Ecosystem-based Water Management (TWM) is an integrated interdisciplinary Master's degree programme in the sector of ecological water management offered by the Radboud University Nijmegen and the University of Duisburg-Essen. It focuses on four main fields of education - aquatic ecology, hydraulic engineering, management & planning, and socio-economics.

Characteristics of the degree programme are:

A strong link to water management practice, manifesting itself in (1) the recruitment of water management experts working for potential employers as instructors and (2) a compulsory internship at a firm or organisation that is a potential employer.
An interdisciplinary approach both within and between universities and countries.
International scope: English will be the "lingua franca" of the degree programme and all forms of instruction (except for a few non-compulsory courses) will be carried out in English.
In addition to conveying specialised knowledge, the programme will place special emphasis on the development of competencies and "soft skills" such as problem-oriented thinking, the ability to present oneself and one's ideas and acting in different cultural settings.
