A wide range of individual modules assembles the course going through three phases in 4 Terms. A module may comprise a number of lectures, exercises, seminars, workshops or excursions. Phase I (Term 1) contains basic modules, of which some are mandatory and some can be selected. For further advanced courses in phase II (Term 2 / 3), students may choose optional modules to acquire their desired specialisation. The study programme is designed together with the professorships of the Department of Hydrosciences and other cooperation partners. A written thesis in Term 4 (phase III) is going to complete the Master. Prospective students can get a first insight into studying and researching at the Department of Hydrosciences HERE.

The experience was really nice. Got a nice opportunity to learn and experience new topics in water science and environment protection.

Really nice professors and the lectures were really good.

One of my favourite things about the course is flood risk management field trip. It was really meaningful study trip and gained a lot of knowledge by spending time with experts in this field.

Spannender Einblick in Wasser und Umwelttechnik
