Dams and flood protection - new Hydro Science Engineering vlog on an excursion in the Elbe catchment area
The study tour through the Elbe catchment area took place again this year as part of the TU Dresden's Hydro Science Engineering (HSE) Master's degree program. The excursion offers participants the opportunity to experience the technical content covered in their studies directly in practice.
Students Hiba and Miguel had the vlogging camera with them and, together with their fellow students and lecturers, created an exciting insight into the world of flood protection.

The route took the international group of students to Magdeburg, the Havel region, Hitzacker, the Klingenberg dam, Dresden and finally Prague. On site, the students gained insights into various flood risk management measures, water management and other hydraulic engineering projects along the Elbe.
The study tour is an integral part of the curriculum and makes it possible to combine theoretical knowledge with practical observations and expert discussions.
The student vlogs on the TUD Probieren YouTube channel provide an insight into the lives of students. From leisure activities in and around Dresden to learning stress and exams - these vlogs allow prospective students to get to know individual degree programs and the city of Dresden.
