17 Water Management Master's Degree Programs

This specialization track is ideal for students with a broad interest in water sciences who want to integrate social, environmental, and engineering dimensions. Students will not only expand their knowledge within their own discipline but also acquire a trans-disciplinary perspective of watershed sciences. This will enable students to fully understand the threats to both natural and anthropogenic hydro systems and develop their skills to create and implement innovative, holistic solutions.

In this two-year Master's program, you will address the most pressing challenges of this century, such as flooding, subsidence, and groundwater salinization.

Water is essential to life and plays a significant role in the balanced development of our society. An increasing number of actors are involved in water management, and water research is approached from many disciplinary perspectives.

The Department has a long tradition of excellence in education, training and research in the field of water utilisation. The degree programmes offered in water utilasation provide balanced training to students in the fields of water quality management, as well as water and wastewater treatment design, operation and optimisation and using techniques such as adsorption and membrane technology.

With this Master's degree, the aim is to acquire advanced, specialized and multidisciplinary training, aimed at knowing the current state of research in the field of sustainable water management.

The course in Master in Urban Water Cycle 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 the discipline of water resources engineering, civil engineers contribute to the sustainable development of safe water supply to all consumers and the protection of this natural resource through an understanding of the natural hydrological cycle, physical principles and the effect of human interference in the design of pipelines, pump stations, open channels and hydraulic structures, and the assessment of the yield from surface water resources.
