Key Summary

    About : The Master in Urban Water Cycle focuses on the sustainable management of urban water systems. The program addresses critical issues like water scarcity, pollution, and climate change, equipping students with practical skills in water resource management. It combines theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, preparing students to tackle contemporary water challenges in urban environments.
    Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue careers in various fields, including environmental consulting, urban planning, and water resource management.

The course aims to respond to the current societal challenge of sustainable water management in the urban cycle, always bearing in mind the issues associated with global change (climate and anthropogenic) and the current drought scenario. In this sense, the programme is based on three main pillars: urban water infrastructure, sustainable water management (origins, quality, uses and reuse) and water governance (economics, policies and regulation).
