Profile
The international master’s degree in Water Engineering (WEM) is a modern, consecutive degree with a focus on water engineering as a branch of environmental engineering. The study program is designed as a full-time study and has a duration of four semesters in which 120 credit points (ECTS) are acquired. The course is conducted entirely in English and is aimed at students with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, environmental engineering, renewable energies or comparable disciplines.The master’s program in Water Engineering qualifies future experts in the field of water-related issues in environmental engineering. Students learn the hydraulic dimensioning and planning of hydropower plants for the generation of regenerative energy, near-natural construction methods of structures in water, retention systems, sustainable water management in urban areas, wastewater treatment technologies, eco-hydraulic measures to improve water quality, and more. The focus is on hydraulic, hydrological and groundwater-related modeling; among other things by means of numerical methods. In addition, students learn about methods of remediation of contaminated water bodies.The study program includes five thematic focuses: 1) scientific methods (programming, monitoring, data analysis), 2) water quality (wastewater treatment, groundwater remediation, groundwater protection), 3) social challenges in relation to water-oriented urban planning, 4) hydraulic engineering and hydrology, and 5) modeling (Surface and groundwater). The master’s program consists of ten compulsory modules, including three projects, five elective modules, which are preferably completed at a European partner university, and the master’s thesis.The Technical University of Lübeck (THL) offers excellent laboratory facilities for water research: A well-equipped hydraulic engineering laboratory with the latest hydrometry enables the investigation of river expansion measures and hydraulic issues. A modern isotope and water laboratory with an attached field laboratory with climate station, soil physical measuring field, groundwater measuring network and its own hydrometric stations offer research opportunities. An experimental sewage treatment plant can be used for the further development of wastewater treatment processes. The THL also offers modern software for modeling in water research.The THL is very well networked in Europe and worldwide through international cooperations in the master’s course and international research projects and offers interesting opportunities to participate in research projects. The THL cooperates with the University of Lübeck, research centers and companies in the region. The program offers an ERASMUS exchange window and exchange opportunities with the University of Antwerp, the University of Algarve and Lodz.
