In this Master's Programme in Water Technology program, you will learn how water can be treated not only efficiently, but also in a sustainable and economical manner. You will obtain knowledge and skills to address water-related challenges in the future. Water treatment is inadequate in many parts of the world, and legislation concerning wastewater is constantly being tightened. Moreover, sustainability challenges us to reflect on water treatment in different ways.

In a context of increasing social pressure on water resources, it is of vital importance to train experts in hydraulic engineering and the environment from both a professional and a research point of view. On the other hand, European regulations (Water Framework Directive, 2000) imply the need to train professionals from a multidisciplinary perspective, similar to that taught in this Master's degree.

The training of specialized professionals who can make contributions significant in the following fields: Hydrology, a science that studies the water cycle in natural environments and artificial; Hydraulics, which studies flow behavior by using physical or numerical models and that also involve innovative technology and the design, construction, supervision, and maintenance of civil works that control extreme events, use the water for a specific purpose or protect the environment in riparian, lake or maritime environments. Is a Master's degree also considers training in the management of water resources? In all areas, it is considered that postgraduate research contributes to the generation of new knowledge.
