Water Technology is one key point of Environmental Engineering and therefore a key part of our future. Due to the environmental pollution, the climate change or our increasing world population, challenges in water related topics as water supply are increasing. The importance of water as essential resource and industrial raw material as well as the treatment of wastewater is increasing steadily. The Master’s program Water Technology focuses on these topics: it covers the problem of climate change mitigation regarding problems as flood protection, technologies as desalination and of course aspects as sustainability and energy will be treated. So, Water Technology includes topics from „Resources oriented sanitation in developing countries“ to „Industrial Wastewater Treatment“ to „Water as Energy Source“.

Content, objective and process of study

Sustainable water technology - our goal for the future!

Our Master’s program in „Water Technology“ will enable you to understand the global field of water technology and to develop solution approaches to different environmental issues. One focus will also be the management and simulation of water related topics. You will also get an understanding of relevant laws and develop furthermore your intercultural skills.

Master “Water Technology“ with internship (120 CPs)

It is possible to choose the master option with an integrated internship after one year of studies.

Master “Water Technology” with pre-courses (120 CPs)

Graduates of non-engineering sciences have to start with a technical preliminary course. They have to pass the preliminary courses to enter the regular Master`s program. The duration of the preliminary course is one semester.

Preliminary course technical sciences:

Module 1+2: Technical Essentials I:
- Mathematics for Engineers I+II, Material Sciences I, Mechanics
Module 3+4: Technical Essentials II
- Constructive Design, Electrical Engineering, Production Engineering, Material Sciences II, Language

Our academic year is divided into eight 5-weeks-blocks. For the entire duration of studies, these blocks build on each other with regard to content. Studies begin with a 14-day introductory module. Targeted learning is on offer from day one with a university-wide preparatory phase to acquire basic study skills.
