1 Oceanography Degree Programs in Vietnam

In response to the huge demand for human resources in finding technological solutions for drinking water and wastewater treatment as well as for climate change adaptation in Vietnam, the Master program “Water - Environment - Oceanography”, one of six priorities in the USTH training program, has been created since November 2009. Accompanying solid scientific training, the WEO master program will focus on studying the advanced technologies, which are currently unpopular or untaught in Vietnam, both in the field of water treatment (supply water, wastewater) and natural aquatic environments (modeling, remote sensing, and environmental engineering). Besides, with all the lessons are taught in English, the main objective of this program is to train future leaders in the field of water science, who are capable to work for industries, consulting firms, and government agencies (concerning water services, flood, and environmental disaster prevention, natural resources management, and land use.
