Details

The study programme is aimed at university graduates with a focus on engineering or natural sciences (FH/Uni) who work as professionals in the field of water and the environment for authorities, companies, associations, engineering offices, institutes, and other institutions or aspire to work in these areas. The master's programme is offered by the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy as a distance learning programme with on-site phases and can therefore be completed alongside a job.

The degree programme includes a compulsory course, a specialisation in the subject areas "Natural Spatial Water Management" or "Water and Material Flow Management in Urban Areas", and the master's thesis. Depending on the individual's professional situation, it is possible to complete the programme as a part-time or full-time study.
