Curriculum

A fundamental aim of the international M.Sc. in Water Resources and Environmental Management curriculum is to offer students a breath-taking experience in the world of scientific research. Our core and elective courses are tailored to develop an independent and result-oriented thinking to meet the demands and challenges in all areas of water resources management, water supply, waste water treatment and solid waste management. Several institutes are involved in the WATENV courses. They offer outstanding general conditions for students and researchers and make the programme truly interdisciplinary. Scientific courses are complemented by soft skills modules and independent project work.
