Description
By studying a Master's degree as part of the ISE study program, students can build on their Bachelor's degree by dealing with increasingly complex issues, enhancing their specialist knowledge in their chosen area, and learning to apply specialist procedures. As part of the integrated program, a Master's qualification will provide the students with an additional qualification that will significantly enhance their career prospects. A Master's will show that the students have gained the enhanced specialist knowledge, skills and methods that are required in a professional environment. It will demonstrate that the students have an overview of specialist disciplines and their contexts, that they have the ability to analyze engineering problems in their chosen area, and that they have the knowledge and practical ability to describe and solve problems independently. A Master's will also allow going on to complete a doctorate and pursue an academic career.
The need to provide water resources of defined quality and quantity while protecting the aquatic environment for future generations is an essential global task. In the increasingly complex environment of water management, engineers must therefore be equipped with extensive interdisciplinary expertise. During their studies, students first acquire basic knowledge of water chemistry, water management and process engineering in the various modules of the MTW3 course of studies, which they must then later combine in highly comprehensive and practice-oriented advanced courses. The main focus is on the transfer of engineering knowledge and networked thinking.
The courses are held in roughly equal parts in German and English. We promote and encourage ethnic diversity and social interaction. So far, we have had students from more than 30 different nations.
The teaching of the MTW³ course is partly digitalized, i.e. lecture and exercise materials are offered as audio presentations and pdf files in special course rooms on an internet platform (Moodle). Students have access to extensive tests in the form of multiple choice as well as short videos on special questions for self-study. In addition, face-to-face lectures are still being held, but are also offered in digital form as videos.
After completion of the course of studies, possible jobs are available in the fields of planning and consulting for water technology, operational environmental protection, environmental management, water management, research and development and monitoring and approval. Previous graduates work, for example, for water suppliers and sewage disposal companies, water associations, plant constructors as well as engineering offices and authorities.
Due to the international orientation of the programme, a wide range of employment opportunities in other countries and international organisations are also available.
