The Dutch have over a thousand years of experience in water management. In order to meet the growing demand of high-quality water for nature, consumption, agriculture and industries, new solutions must be developed, taking into account and balancing all different interests involved. Cooperation at an international level is pivotal to safeguard the interests of millions of people, to prevent flooding and protect or improve ecologically valuable areas, such as wetlands. It is undeniably important to study water management in an international context. Water Management programme at HZ University of Applied Sciences offers this possibility.
Contents
The Water Management programme covers various aspects on water management. You will learn the basics of the aquatic environment, acquire the skills to examine the many characteristics of water and gradually familiarize yourself with the technology that is applied in research and in controlling water systems.Excursions to a variety of institutions and companies, fieldwork nearby and outside the Netherlands encourage the student to bring the acquired knowledge and skills into practice.
Being part of the programme, professionals share their actual experience highlighting current issues on water. By including topics on policy, legislation and management instruments you learn to approach water as an integral part of society.
After familiarising yourself with the professional possibilities and your study programme in the first two years, you will choose a Minor semester in consultation with your study coach and based on both your interests and qualifications you developed so far.
