Master of Science in Management and Technology of Water and Waste Water (M.Sc. MTW3)
winter and summer semester
4 semesters (2 years)
Campus Duisburg
Accredited by ASIIN
The master degree course “Management and Technology of Water and Waste Water” combines the in the past often separated knowledge domains “Engineering Sciences / Process Engineering” and “Management”. The graduates will be imparted the competences in deep understanding of modern water resource management systems, in particular in the domain of engineering sciences / process engineering problems with the focus on water supply, water processing and wastewater purification.
The graduates will be enabled to, with the focus on water supply, water processing and waste water purification, and think in a multidisciplinary way involving business, water management and engineering. They will be able to understand complex water management systems and for example be able to transfer in international scope such water management systems and the appropriate technologies, taking in account the regional conditions depending on the country.
Besides the deepening lectures in the further engineering domains (control theory, fail-safe and diagnosis of mechatronical systems, computer-aided calculation methods, fluid dynamics), follows a particular profiling in special lectures from the following areas: process engineering, water processing and wastewater purification, management and controlling and water management. For the graduates, good career perspectives as leaders or executives in particular in water supplier and sewage disposer companies, water boards or water associations, as well as in planning and engineering agencies are affordable. There is also the possibility to do a doctorate at a German or foreign university.
The sphere of activities of the graduates especially lies at the intersection between process engineering / water technology and water management. This results in the following application areas:
Here, potential employers are in particular large and international concerns, but also executive positions in water and wastewater associations as well as in small and middle-sized companies, not leaving out Freelance work or even the possibility to be an independent contractor.
The M.Sc. programme has been completed when the following 120 ECTS credits have been acquired:
- 90 ECTS credits from the tested modules comprising the compulsory and elective course units, consisting of
- 27 ECTS credits for the M.Sc. dissertation and
- 3 ECTS credits for the M.Sc. dissertation colloquium.
