Integrated Water Resources Management TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences)

Overview

These resources are the basis for food production, urban and industrial water supplies and hydropower. Experts are needed who understand that multiple problems of water resources management can only be addressed through a holistic approach.

The profile of the Integrated Water Resources Management (Master's program) at TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences) is application-oriented. The aim is, besides providing the participants with an overview on the water sector in general, to educate experts in the field of Integrated Water Resources Management. This requires a diversification of their knowledge and leads to the capability of cross-linked thinking. The answer to complex environmental and water related problems requires economic and managerial competencies more than classical technical knowledge.

Based on this, the study objectives are:

• Broadening and enhancing expert knowledge

• Providing key qualifications required for international cooperation projects

• Fostering the link between different areas of specialization

• Enhancing oral and written communication considering different stakeholder groups regarding target groups

• Broaden methodological and scientific skills, bridging theoretical knowledge and practical requirements

• Practicing own research on interdisciplinary and inter-sectorial approaches to Integrated Water Resources Management
