The Master program in Water Technology has started in September 2008.

This program is a joint responsibility of the Wageningen University, the

University of Twente and the University of Groningen. These 3 renowned

Dutch universities have combined their state-of-the-art expertise in a single

master program that is offered in the city of Leeuwarden at Wetsus Academy.

The program focuses on the development and design of all kind of waterprocesses. The main added value of the program lies in the multidisciplinary

use of biotechnology, chemical engineering and separation technology. The

aim of the program is to integrate knowledge of several disciplines, based on

physical, (micro) biological, chemical and electrochemical principles. Students

are challenged with examples and cause studies of real (research) problems

that they might encounter as water professionals. They also operate in an

inspiring environment of a major Water technology research program at the

Technological Top Institute for Water technology, Wetsus. Being a student

at one of the involved universities, you are going to develop yourself into

specialists in water technology with relevant knowledge from the field of

chemical engineering and biotechnology. The multidisciplinary approach of

the program challenges to develop new technologies. Students apply for the

master program Water Technology at one of the involved universities and after

finishing the program success-fully they receive a Master degree in Water

Technology.

Target group

Postgraduate students with completed

Bachelor degree (from either university

or college) in Environmental engineer-

ing, Chemical engineering and Biotech-

nology or in related fields with a strong

knowledge of mathematics, physics,

chemistry and/or biology.

Objective

Graduated students in Water Technology

are challenged either to participate in theWetsus or University research programs

as PhD. students or they can apply for a

job in one of the companies participating

in Wetsus.

Program summary

The program in Water Technology is a

two year program. Each academic year

is divided in two semesters (four peri-

ods). The first year consists of 9 courses

I am glad and thankful

that I had great possibilities

to enrich my own personal

and academic development

during all two years of study-

ing. Moreover, I met people

from all over the world during

my life in Leeuwarden and

I am happy that they left a

big influence in my life and

became a part of it.

(each 5 EC) and an internship in a

company (15 EC). In the second year

students have to carry on design

project (10 EC), they can chose two

elective courses at the involved uni-

versities (each 5 EC or 6 EC) and get

acquainted with water technology in

the field and complete the specializa-

tion with a graduation project (master

assignment with a minimum of 38 EC).

Wetsus Research program.

Possibility to choose additional cours-

es from all three involved universities

(Wageningen University with strong

focus on environmental sciences,

University Twente with strong focus

on science and technology l and Uni-

versity of Groningen with strong focus

on fundamental sciences.

Studying at the Wetsus

Academy is in my opinion in

more than one way more than

an ordinary master study in

the Netherlands.

....The connection to Wetsus

will make it easy for you to

get an internship with an

excellent company working in

the water sector.

the studies are self-driven

and focused on problem

solving. The teachers were

coming just for the lectures

and if we had any questions

we could have written an

email to ask. Third, I had apossibility to see how the new

technologies are imple-

mented to the reality and to

be a part of investigation of

new technologies.

.Wetsus Academy and

Leeuwarden became my

second home and I cannot

imagine a better place to

study. Professors, tutors and

staff are so friendly and very

willing to help internationalstudents.
