The quality of WAREM is certified under the system - Accreditation of University of Stuttgart and German Accreditation Council.
The WAREM Master program is a two-year multidisciplinary Water Resource Engineering and Management program for German and International students. The course work is focused on the fields of Sanitary Engineering, Groundwater Resources Management/ Geohydrology, Stochastic Simulation for Hydrosystems and Hydraulic Engineering /River Basin Management. Students take a combination of Mandatory and Selectable Modules, allowing them to emphasize in their topic of interest.
The Master of Science ProgramWAREM works closely in cooperation with the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems (IWS) and the Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Solid Waste Management (ISWA), providing lectures and research topics for master theses. With simulations being an ever more vital component of research and water projects, WAREM offers many in depth selectable courses covering modeling techniques and an introduction to multiple coding languages. Courses combine theoretical with hands on learning, allowing students to gain experience applying theoretical concepts by conducting measurements in lab and field settings. Master thesis topics and selectable courses for ISWA and IWS are available on their respective website, as well defended master theses from WAREM Alumni.
The WAREM master program is taught and administered in English, focusing on creating an international environment. Students from all around the world come together to solve the cross-national issues facing our global water sector. With our partner university in Chalmers, Sweden, it is possible to complete a double degree program.
The complete master's program consists of three semesters of coursework and a six-month master's thesis. Each generation of students starts October during the Winter Semester with an intensive German course being offered in September for international students.
Applications for both German and International students are due February 15th, with acceptance letters typically sent by the end of March.
WAREM is the appropriate Master's Program for
- Bachelor of Civil Engineering, Water Resources, Chemical Engineering, Chemical Process Technology, Environmental Eng., Fluid Mechanic Eng., Irrigation Eng., Mechanical Eng., Sanitary Eng., Soil & Irrigation Eng.
- Educational or professional experience in either hydraulics or wastewater, particularly in fluid mechanics, are required
