Water Resources Engineering

Advertisement

By applying integrated water resources management, surface water and groundwater can be used to cover this demand in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. These are the issues we explore with our students, as well as many other challenges such as wastewater treatment, storm water management, coastal hydraulics, and modelling of hydrological processes. The programme is broad and covers the most important aspects of water resources engineering. Many of the courses included in the programme contain practical elements, which allow our students to deepen their understanding of the more theoretical components and to develop both professional and academic skills. Our strong links to industry and scientific cooperation projects ensure that our courses maintain a high level of relevance to current issues and developments.

Special features of the programme * An opportunity to specialise in fields where we have world-leading expertise, such as water and wastewatertreatment, coastal hydraulics and modelling of hydrological processes.
* Accessible and engaged teachers who will give you thorough feedback and help you progress throughout your studies.
* Strong industry links and opportunities to work closely with local and international organisations.
* A multinational, innovative and interactive learning environment.

Career prospectsThe need for clean water and sanitation is a global concern affecting large, densely populated cities and smaller communities in industrialised and developing regions alike. This Masters programme will prepare you for a rewarding and challenging career within an essential profession. Most of our graduates play important roles in the water sector all over the world, and their educational experience in Lund has assisted them in becoming outstanding professionals. The skills they have acquired during the programme are sought after by organisations in a wide variety of industries, from large multinational corporations and non-profit organisations, to regional and national government bodies. Many go on to become Hydrologists, Process Engineers, Hydrogeologists, Consultants and Water Resource Managers. Others pursue an academic career within prestigious universities.
