About the Program
The master's degree program in Water Science and Engineering at KIT offers an interdisciplinary, research-oriented education at the interface of water-related engineering and natural sciences. In this degree program, students learn how to develop strategies and technical solutions for the sustainable use and protection of water resources. The program navigates the field of tension between the efficient use of limited water resources, their protection, dealing with extreme weather events and the consequences of global change on water and material cycles. The program provides in-depth engineering and scientific fundamentals as well as cross-sectional skills. Students translate theoretical knowledge into quantitative models and learn to analyze and model complex systems using quantitative methods. There are four study profiles to choose from: Water Technologies & Urban Water Cycle, Fluid Mechanics & Hydraulic Engineering, Environmental System Dynamics & Management, and Water Resources Engineering.
