Water being an essential resource for the daily life of an individual, plays a major role in environmental engineering and becomes a key aspect for present and future scope of study/research. Challenges in water related topics like water supply, desalination, water purification are increasing due to an increase in the global population, unavailability of clean water, environmental pollution and climate change. Also, residential and industrial wastewater increases the opportunity for wastewater treatment processes. Moreover, since the evolution of energy supply water plays a major role as an emission-free energy source by meeting the demand in addition to fossil fuels. Hence aspects like “resource-oriented sanitation in developing countries”, “Wastewater Treatment”, “Water as Energy Sources”, “Water desalination” requires an investment of knowledge and human resources to identify “sustainable solution” fighting the environmental pollution and climate change.

Content, objective and process of study

Sustainable water technology - our goal for the future!

Our master’s program “Water Technology” focuses on aspects related to climate changes such as flood protection, water as a sustainable energy source and desalination technologies. The curriculum enables you to understand the global water technology aspects, develop your competencies to identify sustainable solution approaches to environmental issues with the help of simulations associated with water related topics. In addition to the technical aspects, you get the opportunity to understand relevant laws, attain managerial skills and develop intercultural competence.

Master “Water Technology“ with internship (120 CPs)

Due to COVID-19 crises we had planned to do our preliminary course both in regular class room form and in online form. If in case you are not able to travel to Germany due to travel restrictions or if you would like to stay safe at home (EU and German students), you can select the online version. The details of the online version can be found in the below link.

Projects

Experience of our students

For an aspiring academic like myself, the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship helped me focus on my studies as I felt supported in terms of finance. The masters course in Water Technology has so far helped me gain in depth knowledge about the environment and water related issues. This has impacted positively on my perception of the earth. The experience has given me the opportunity to be involved in some challenging yet rewarding research work in the field of water and environmental sustainability. Thank you SRH Hochschule and my dedicated Professors for this life-changing opportunity.
