Environment and Natural Resources - Sustainable Water and Sanitation, Health and Development

The first year provides an introduction to sustainable water and sanitation, health and development, soils and hydrogeology, as well as the initiating your thesis project. The second year is dedicated to technical design of systems, advanced courses in hydrogeology, water pollution, limnology and/or water treatment treatment and your MSc thesis. The program has focus on problem based learing and solving of cases from different parts of the world in group work. Local cases are utilized to give “hands-on”experience. The MSc thesis project is taken over the last semester, but students are encouraged to start the work/data collection earlier. Thesis work in a foreign country is a great learning experience and is encouraged. The students have possibilities to take a semester or thesis work with for example one of our sister programs in Nepal or Pakistan or with research partners in Canada or Alaska.
