General information
Having access to clean water is the cornerstone for improving healthcare, increasing food supply, reducing child mortality rates, and enhancing people’s overall quality of life. It has become crucial to develop technologies that can tackle water security challenges and meet the increasing demand. By applying integrated water resources management, surface water and groundwater can be used to cover this demand in a sustainable and eco-friendly way. These are the issues we explore with our students, as well as many other challenges such as wastewater treatment, storm water management, coastal hydraulics, and modelling of hydrological processes. The programme is broad and covers the most important aspects of water resources engineering.
Many of the courses included in the programme contain practical elements, which allow our students to deepen their understanding of the more theoretical components and to develop both professional and academic skills. Our strong links to industry and scientific cooperation projects ensure that our courses maintain a high level of relevance to current issues and developments.
Special features of the programme
- An opportunity to specialise in fields where we have world-leading expertise, such as water and wastewatertreatment, coastal hydraulics and modelling of hydrological processes.
- Accessible and engaged teachers who will give you thorough feedback and help you progress throughout your studies.
- Strong industry links and opportunities to work closely with local and international organisations.
- A multinational, innovative and interactive learning environment.
Lund University was founded in 1666 and for a number of years has been ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 47 700 students and 7 500 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. The Faculty of Engineering is home to approximately 800 international students every year, and has a total of approximately 9,600 students and 1,600 employees.
Our vision for the students is that – after graduation – they will move on to play important roles in the water sector, and that their educational experience in Lund will assist them in becoming outstanding professionals.
Career prospects. The need for clean water and sanitation is a global concern affecting large, densely populated cities and smaller communities in industrialised and developing regions alike. This Master’s programme will prepare you for a rewarding and challenging career within an essential profession. Our graduates play important roles in the water sector all over the world, and their educational experience in Lund has assisted them in becoming outstanding professionals.
The skills they have acquired during the programme are sought after by organisations in a wide variety of industries, from large multinational corporations and non-profit organisations, to regional and national government bodies. Many go on to become hydrologists, process engineers, hydrogeologists, consultants and water resource managers. Others pursue an academic career within prestigious universities. Typical examples of organisations which have employed our graduates are Sweco (Sweden), Stockholm Environment Institute (International), Hussey Gay Bell & DeYoung (USA), Beijing YHR Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd (China). Some of our graduates move on to PhD programmes. Among the many universities which have accepted our students are KTH (Sweden), UC Davis (USA), and University of Melbourne (Australia).
- To offer a broad programme covering the most important aspects of water resources.
- To elucidate the need to treat water resources in an integrated manner.
- To give the students an opportunity to specialize in fields where we have world leading expertise.
- To provide access to up-to-date knowledge and methods of high relevance.
- To instil in the students the importance of a scientific approach.
- To take advantage of the possibilities created by a multinational student group.
