MSc in Sanitation

The Master of Science in Sanitation course involves the interactions of water with other environmental components. The interactions may be affected by environmental contaminants and/or may be used by humans for productive purposes. The program is dedicated to targeting needs and delivering specialists in a short time, with the necessary qualifications. It aims to attract talented and ambitious young and mid-career sanitation professionals, working in water supply and sewerage companies, local governments, government ministries, NGOs and consulting firms. Ideally these individuals are dealing with urban and peri-urban sanitation, especially in informal settlements. This course is therefore intended for Master and advanced level students, as well as professionals in engineering, agriculture, water, public health, environment or other related fields.
