Water – essential to us all, yet a key resource for many industries. We prepare you to help tackle one of the biggest technological challenges of our time.

What you will learn:

The growing world population, climate change, and the intensive use of water in industry, agriculture and the energy sector make sustainable water management an existential task – and these issues are addressed on your degree programme.

At the Master in Water Technology will teach you the key aspects of water technology: fresh water generation, domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, and water as a zero-emission energy source. In addition to focusing on technologies that are established in water-rich countries, we also tackle issues such as seawater desalination, hygiene solutions for developing countries, and water conflict prevention.

This degree programme offers you a great deal of flexibility:

• You can choose the Master’s programme with an integrated internship after the first year of study (4 semesters in total, 120 CP).
• If you hold a degree in a non-engineering subject, you can start this Master’s programme after passing a preliminary engineering course lasting one semester.
• You can work up to 20 hours a week while studying.
• Carry out a project abroad, work together with a company, establish important contacts: all this is possible in the last two modules before you start your thesis.

Our innovative approach that pays off:

Sustainable water technology – a goal for your future career: after completing the Master’s programme, you will be able to take on senior engineering and management tasks in the global field of water technology. With core subjects in water quality, water treatment, water reuse, and water power generation, we prepare you for your tasks as an engineer in a global workplace.

Your prospects in detail:

In addition to gaining professional expertise in the field of water technology, you will have the opportunity to improve your language skills and gain intercultural competence. We also equip you with the skills required to shoulder management tasks. These are some of the areas where you can pursue your career goals:

• National and international water companies
• Medium-sized and global water management companies
• Research institutions

Successful completion of the Master’s programme also qualifies you to start a doctorate.
