Challenges

In the last decades, water resources have been under increased pressure, caused by the gap between the need for water and its availability in terms of both its quality and quantity. This is a particular problem in arid and semiarid regions. Beyond traditional sectors where water is in high demand, this phenomenon is being intensified by rapidly growing populations, increased agricultural irrigation for food production, intensified urbanization and climate change. To overcome this dilemma, a  water resources management that follows an integrated and interdisciplinary approach is widely proposed, including sustainable capacity building.

Focus

To address these challenges, the master’s degree program in Water Engineering was developed to focus on the specific requirements of arid and semiarid countries and regions in the fields of hydrogeology, hydraulics, water exploitation, water treatment, water supply, wastewater treatment, treated water reuse and sustainable water resources management.

Target Group

The master’s degree program in Water Engineering at the Campus El Gouna of the Technische Universität Berlin offers an advanced course of study for students and young professionals who want to extend their expertise in water science, water and wastewater treatment and hydro-engineering infrastructure so that they are able to make a contribution to solving the current challenges in arid and semiarid countries. This academic program is primarily designed for candidates with technical or managerial interests or responsibilities that come from environmental, chemical, process, mechanical or civil engineering, geosciences, biology, chemistry or related disciplines. Prospective participants should preferably hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent academic qualification in engineering or natural sciences (focusing on environmental studies).
