General information about the degree program
The water management programme is an interdisciplinary course of study which focuses on technical, hydrological systems and their manifold relations to soil and atmosphere, as well as to society. Due to its combination of three extensive disciplines, namely “cultivation of above- and belowground bodies of water”, “drinking water extraction” and “waste water management” the programme is very complex.
The mandatory modules offer students the chance to extend their knowledge within the fields of sewage and water systems and apply these findings to optimisation and management issues.
