The Program
The MSc degree in Water Industry Engineering features a wide range of courses providing the students with the most up-to-date knowledge, in order to become specialists in the field of water processing. Students will gain knowledge of treatment processes, modelling, and water-related innovation and project management.
Here are a few samples of the program’s courses and the objectives of each:
Students will receive a broad overview on fixed-film treatment processes and will study biofilm implementation in wastewater treatment systems by different methods and practices, including the latest advances in biofilm-based technologies. The course aims to provide design tools for both pure and hybrid fixed-film processes, along with use of mathematical modelling and understanding of performance and operational issues.
Students will be provided with knowledge of different state-of-the-art technologies for industrial wastewater treatment and reuse, and with the ability to critically assess each of them for their relative advantages and shortcomings.
Special emphasis will be placed on developing the ability to perform basic calculations for assessment of CapEx and OpEx of different techniques. Different ways of combination of filtration and desalination technologies will be discussed and analyzed both theoretically and based on case studies.
Other courses taught in the program include (but are not limited to):
- Research Methodologies in Water Engineering
- Basics of System Engineering and Its Application in Water Engineering
- Advanced Design of Water Treatment Plants
- Modeling and Simulation of Environmental Processes (Water and Wastewater)
Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment - Biofilms in Aqueous Environments and Water Industries
- Microbial diversity and Activity in the Water Industries: Importance and Implications
- Data Science in Water Systems
- Advanced Material Engineering for Water Applications
The MSc degree program is structured as follows:
