Engineering and Related SciencesResources Engineering – a water-oriented Master Study ProgrammeInstitutionLocationCourse focusKarlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)(Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT))The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded on October01, 2009, by a merger of Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and ForschungszentrumKarlsruhe. KIT bundles the missions of both precursor institutions:a university of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg with researchand higher education tasks and a large-scale research institutionof the national Helmholtz Association conducting provident programme-orientedresearch on behalf of the government. Within thisresearch, higher education, and innovation.The city of Karlsruhe was founded in 1715. Today, it has about290,000 inhabitants. It is located in the West of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg in the Upper Rhine Valley bordering the Black Forestand the Vosges Mountains. The “Technology Region” Karlsruhe(Technologie Region Karlsruhe) has the highest number of researchersper capita in Europe.The accredited water-oriented Master Study Programme “ResourcesEngineering” at the Department of Civil Engineering, Geo- and EnvironmentalSciences (BGU Dept.) provides a forum for multidisciplinaryacademic studies aimed at graduating students who will engagein water stewardship around the globe. We expect graduates to takeleadership positions in basic water resources research and in appliedagement,sanitation engineering, or hydropower engineering.The curriculum features components in applied natural sciences, engineering,and socio-economics for advanced technology as well as fortechnology appropriate for development cooperation. Students willralresource water. The study will enable students to evaluate the opti-lemsin research and society. In short, the study promotes knowledgeand competencies essential for contributing to integrated water managementin R&D projects.Curriculum:To be awarded the M.Sc. in “Resources Engineering”, students haveto complete a minimum of 120 CP acc. to ECTS in four semesters(of six months each):(details at www.bgu.kit.edu/resources-engineering/english)• 90 CP for course modules (lectures, seminars, lab courses)60 CP compulsory disciplinary modules15 CP compulsory supplementary programme15 CP compulsory elective modules• 30 CP for the module “Master’s thesis”(written thesis and colloquium)Compulsory disciplinary modules (60 CP).
