International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering
There is a strong and ever increasing demand for specialists trained in pollution prevention and remediation. This programme addresses these needs by educating a new generation of environmental scientist and engineers that can provide adequate and state-of-the-art solutions to tackle complex, multidisciplinary environmental issues. Throughout the programme, students move between the partner institutions.
Trajectory to follow:
- First semester in Prague
- Second semester in Delft
- Third semester in Ghent
This part includes environmental technology courses at the introductory level that provide the conceptual basis to specialize in later semesters. They cover environmental biotechnology and remediation technologies for soil, sludge, water, air and waste. "Interdisciplinary project/Communication and writing skills for Engineers" aims to integrates this knowledge by exposing the students to specific environmental issues, on which they elaborate under guidance, and formally introduce them to written and oral communications in Engineering.

The learning line on engineering skills is continued with the course "Basics of Process Engineering", and a second common course introduces control and prevention of atmospheric pollution.

Trajectory to follow:
- Second semester in Delft
- Third semester in Ghent
This track focuses on the management of water quality, sustainable management of resources in urban and industrial settings to reduce and prevent environmental burdens, and use of wetlands for water treatment.Opportunities to recover resources from waste water are explored. The track "Desalinisation and water reuse" specializes on drinking water recovery from a range of water sources, including ground water, waste water and sea water, including design, engineering and modelling of treatment processes. In both tracks the problems introduced in the 1st semester are studied at a more advanced level, with a stronger quantitative engineering approach in "Interdisciplinary project part II". The communication and writing skills focuses on planning a research project. The International Field Trip handles different international practices in the design, operation and management of water supply, wastewater, solid waste and urban civil infrastructure networks.
