International Land and Water Management (MIL) / MSc

Aims

The education within the MSc programme International Land and Water Management is directed towards the scientific analysis of the physical, technical and socio-economic aspects of land and water management, and towards the ability to design sustainable and efficient technical constructions in land and water management, appropriate for its agro-ecological and socio-economic environment.
The programme pays attention to land and water management at different scales, to interactive approaches with actors at the respective levels, and to the institutional aspects and the multi-facetted consequences of interventions. The programme aims at the development of a comparative insight in the development of land and water management, academic attitudes towards various research paradigms and a problem-oriented, interdisciplinary attitude towards land and water management and rural development issues.
