Key Summary
About: A graduate of the Masters in Circular Economy and Water Management gains knowledge in circular economy and water resources management, including sustainable development, resource conservation, water recovery, reuse, hydrology, hydraulics, water quality and environmental systems. They'll plan, design and operate water systems, model hydrological and environmental processes, and use analytical IT tools such as GIS and numerical models to support decision-making, implementation.
Career Outcomes: Graduates are ready for industry, consulting, research, administration, water companies and doctoral studies. They can work in project management, interdisciplinary teams, environmental planning, resource recovery, wastewater treatment, flood and scarcity management, policy and technical advice.
A graduate of the "Circular Economy and Water Management" program possesses advanced knowledge and skills corresponding to two equally important areas: circular economy and water resources management. They understand the principles of sustainable development, efficient resource use, and the functioning of environmental systems, including the cycling of water and materials in natural and anthropogenic environments.
The graduate has advanced competencies in implementing solutions aligned with the circular economy, including resource conservation, water recovery, and reuse as well as planning, designing, and operating systems related to water management. They can analyze and model hydrological, hydraulic, and environmental processes, assess water quality, and identify and address problems related to water scarcity, excess, and environmental pressures.
They are capable of integrating technical, environmental, and economic knowledge to implement solutions supporting the transition to a circular economy and manage water resources efficiently. They can use modern analytical and IT tools, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and numerical models, to support decision-making and project implementation.
