The new MSc in Water and Sustainable Development (Research) at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education will prepare you for a career in research, academia, or pursuing a Ph.D.
You can apply for admission to the MSc in Water and Sustainable Development. If you seek financial assistance, you may have to apply much earlier. Start with selecting a track/profile and collecting the documents you need for your application. In the application, you will indicate your preference for a thematic track and profile, and your application will be assessed with this in mind.
The MSc Program in Water and Sustainable Development (68EC) is for students who seek a science-based MSc degree that is anchored in and prepares them for, professional practice.
The Research MSc Programme in Water and Sustainable Development (120EC) is a much more individually tailored program with taught and self-guided study components. It demands an intrinsic research motivation and will equip and prepare students for a career in research, academia or to pursue a Ph.D.
Applicants can only submit an application to either the MSc Programme in Water and Sustainable Development or the Research MSc Programme in Water and Sustainable Development. First study all information published on this website about both programs and then decide which one suits you best with regard to your academic background, work experience, and career aspirations.
Please note that in addition to the regular or research master, applicants can apply for admission to an Erasmus Mundus program for which Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.
Applicants first receive an automatic email confirmation. Up to four weeks later, applicants receive another email to inform them whether they are admitted. Applications are assessed using the criteria for the profile and tracking the applicants listed as their preferred choices – therefore, although it is possible to change profiles and tracks after admission, it is still important to choose suitable options in the application.
Students’ definite choice of the profile will be agreed upon after confirmation of financial support and an online meeting with their IHE coach. Please note that not all profiles and track combinations are possible – please check the website. A tip: study the information on the track and profile content to ensure you pick what is best for you.
