The MSc is a brand new programme that deals with a very important and sensitive topic: Water Resources Management under Scarcity Conditions. From this point of view it is a unique program as the whole structure and the courses offered are about various water issues but always adapted to scarcity conditions.
This programme aims to promote an international MSc on Water Resources Management and Policy under Water Scarcity Conditions and has been awarded the Label of Mediterranean Office for Youth. The MSc will introduce students to the foundations of Water Management in semi-arid environments from many different points of view. The topics will range from hydrology and land-use impacts under water scarcity conditions to hydrologic modelling and water quality assessments in arid environments under climate change, while also considering political, economic, social and financial factors. The programme also promotes student mobility (courses will be taught in different countries) and sharing of experiences with students from other countries in order to strengthen the knowledge and communication of professionals in the field of Water Management and Policy primarily around the Mediterranean region.
Many consider water the most important natural resource in the world so graduates from this MSC will have great potential job opportunities. Numerous local and international organizations, enterprises, public services and authorities related with water issues, would be interested in graduates that have specialized in the topics offered by this programme.
Particularly graduates from this programme would be specialized to work in the unique environmental of the Mediterranean region that is semi-arid and arid with many transboundary issues.
