Technology for Integrated Water Management

The advanced master's programme in Technology for Integrated Water Management provides training at a specialised level. It is aimed at students who already possess an initial Master’s degree.

• 60 ECTS-credits
• Programme taught in English
• Interuniversity programme

The programme is a cooperation between the University of Antwerp (interfaculty Institute of Environment & Sustainable Development, and the Faculty of Sciences) and Ghent University (interfaculty Centre Environmental Science & Technology) and the Antwerp Maritime Academy.

Most courses are supervised by two Course Co-ordinators. The Course Co-ordinators are entirely responsible for the theoretical approach and the academic methods used. They co-operate on one and the same course, in which they deal with their specific field of study. In order to be able to focus on the practical aspects and implications, guest lecturers from waterrelated companies and industries are invited (possibly within the scope of planned company visits).
