About the Programme
M.Sc. in Water Resource and Environmental Management is a two-year postgraduate programme designed to strengthen and deepen the interdisciplinary skills and knowledge of students in water management. This programme emphasises the management and development of land water and related resources without compromising the sustainability of other vital resources of our planet. The students will experience a relatively new and unique approach to manage water resources effectively.
This interdisciplinary programme deals with scientific and policy aspect of the subject at different levels (local regional and global). The students opting for this programme will be nurtured to become efficient managers who are well-equipped to understand complex water challenges and to develop functional and practical solutions related to water and sanitation problems around the globe.
Students can opt for pursuing further programmes like MPhil. And PH.D in civil environmental or structural engineering after specialising in water resources.
*M.Sc. (CW) - M.Sc. with Course Work
