Faculty program websiteIntegrated Water Resources Management with focus on the Middle East and Northern African Region (Master of Science)
TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences |Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics (ITT)
Water resources, indispensable basis for development, food supply, and health, become ever scarcer and more polluted. The concept of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) offers solutions to the water crisis in linking water to other vital resources. For bilateral projects between Germany and countries in the Middle East and Northern African (MENA) region, there is a need for experts being familiar with the culture, language and politics of both sides and are skilled in intercultural communication. The Master’s program has the objective to form such experts. There is an obligatory semester exchange at the German Jordanian University. Master thesis must be written with a thematic focus on a MENA region under joint supervision of both university partners.time frame | language | fees
