MSc

The hydroinformatics course aims to provide theoretical and practical foundations underlying the incorporation of modern information and communication technology into modelling, control and decision-support systems in the field of hydraulics, hydrology and environmental management

Learning Objectives

The Hydroinformatics programme aims at enriching traditional engineering practice by introducing innovative approaches in order to open up for the participants much broader perspectives.

By the end of the course graduates will:

• Have a good understanding of the fundamentals of a range of physical processes, advanced modelling techniques and information technology for water management.
• Be able to select and use simulation models applied to water-based systems in a wide variety of hydraulic, hydrologic and environmental engineering situations.
• Be able to use current software tools, and know their advantages and limitations.
• Know how to design, develop and integrate decision-support systems and tools.
• Be able to provide advice to managers and users of advanced tools.
• Understand and practice collaborative work, making use of Internet-based platforms.

Graduates will be able to work in practical water sector environments that require academic qualifications and skills. Graduates who obtain good study results will be eligible to continue with a PhD study in hydroinformatics at universities and institutes worldwide. Just over a third of our hydroinformatics graduates continue to a PhD degree.
