General

UNESCO-IHE offers various postgraduate programmes at the Master of Science (MSc) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) levels. All courses aim at educating the participant to develop a problem-solving attitude, and to take into account the multidisciplinary setting of problems in achieving sustainable solutions. UNESCO-IHE-trained professionals are equipped to work on strategic, technical and managerial challenges at local, national and international levels.

Master Programmes offered at UNESCO-IHE

UNESCO-IHE offers four 18 month Masters Programmes with fifteen specialisations in the fields of water, environment and infrastructure, with a focus on poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

The programmes are modular in structure, thereby creating opportunities for increased flexibility in the exchange of modules between programmes - including those of partner universities - and optimising the 'blend' of learning scenarios. These programmes are increasingly being offered jointly with partner institutes.
