1 INTRODUCTION
The main objective of this publication is to provide a complete description of the syllabi of graduate courses
offered by the Interuniversity Programme in Water Resources Engineering. In addition the publication aims at
assisting potential students in selecting one of the programme options offered in the 2nd year of the study
programme in Water Resources Engineering.
The 1st year, which is a compulsory programme for all trainees, is an introductory year, also called "GAS" or
Programme of Complementary Studies in Water Resources Engineering. The number of courses in the 1st year
is 10, complemented with one prerequisite in Calculus and 5 workshops on various aspects of Water Resources
Engineering. A detailed description of the content of the courses taught in the 1st year is offered in Section 2 of
this brochure.
In the “GGS” programme or study curriculum for the degree of Master of Science in Water Resources
Engineering, a common core together with eight optional courses is offered. The optional courses make a
specialization in Hydrology, Irrigation, Water Quality and Aquatic Ecology possible. A description of the
courses is given in the Sections 3 of the brochure.
