General information
In responding to the huge demand of human resources in finding technological solutions for drinking water and waste water treatment as well as for climate change adaptation in Vietnam, the Master program “Water-Environment-Oceanography”, one of six priorities in USTH training program, has been created since November 2009. Accompanying a solid scientific training, the WEO master program will focus on studying the advanced technologies, which are currently unpopular or untaught in Vietnam, both in the field of water treatment (supply water, wastewater) and natural aquatic environments (modeling, remote sensing, and environmental engineering). Besides, with all the lessons are taught in English, main objective of this program is to train future leaders in the field of water science, who are capable to work for industries, consulting firms and government agencies (concerning water services, flood and environmental disaster prevention, natural resources management and land use).
The master of Water- Environment- Oceanography will train future leaders in the field of water science, called to work for industry, consulting firms and Government (water services, prevention of floods and disasters, management of natural areas and land use), and open the way to realize a PhD of science abroad. As shown in T of USTH, accompanying a solid scientific training, the focus will be on the use of advanced technologies currently little or no taught in Vietnam, both in the field of water treatment and the study of natural aquatic environments (numerical modeling, remote sensing, and environmental engineering).
All the lessons will be taught in English. Roughly 60% of them are taught by French lecturers and 40% by Vietnamese lecturers. Intensive English is offered at the beginning of the master, complementary English is offered thereafter. Students will have opportunities of internship both in Vietnam and abroad. The diploma is delivered by USTH and conjointly by a French university. It is recognized by the European Union and International University education system.
Course Program. The WEO training program mainly focus on environmental issues related to waters from different resources (i.e. groundwater and surface continental waters, coastal and marine waters, polluted waters), risk assessment (concerning drinking water, sanitation, public health, eco-toxicology, floods, etc), water uses management (i.e. waters for domestic, agricultural, industrial, coastal purposes…), or pollution treatment (i.e. water, wastewater, irrigation, distribution…).
Within the first semester, asolid and transversal education is delivered to all students regardless of their specialty. It includes analytical chemistry, biology, ecology, fluid mechanics, hydrology, hydrogeology, modeling, economics, project management and international regulations. This training program aims to provide students methodologies for problem solving and reasoning while encouraging their initiative and creative thoughts in the fields of ecosystem protection, coastal and inland water resources management, and polluted water treatment technologies.
After the first semester, three following specialties are optional for student:
– Water Pollution & Treatment (WPT)
– Biogeochemical & Ecological Processes in Hydro-systems (BEPH)
– Oceanography & Hydrology (H &O).

Grant Opportunities:
Scholarship and Fellowship
Since USTH is highly supported and sponsored by external funding (Asian Development Bank and Agribank) in addition to its own high-level state budget and industrial foundation, many candidates can access to our scholarship and fellowship program.
Merit – based scholarships and/or need-based fellowships (covering up to 100% tuition fees and living expenses) can be applied for during the application process; evaluated during dossier examination, and interviewed and decided after enrolment.
