MSc in Water and Environmental Engineering

Two years $5,000 per academic year

Overview

This programme is designed for students from civil engineering or water and environmental engineering backgrounds or a closely related field of study. It is a ‘taught’ and ‘research’ based Master programme, which includes the Master’s student competence, knowledge and skills in the field of Water and Environmental Engineering and takes professional engineers steps further into their field of specialty and strengthens their theoretical and practical capability. This MSc programme is to help students in the Kurdistan region to pursue their postgraduate studies by employing advanced and cutting-edge water and environmental engineering technologies, which will eventually prepare them to be leaders in Water and Environmental Engineering and help the Kurdistan region continue to flourish. Our graduates would also be able to teach in the educational institutions in the Kurdistan region with the emphasis on the state of art of the water and environmental engineering technologies.
