MSc in Water Supply and Sanitary Engineering
Bahir Dar University – BDUThe program targets applicant with a BSc Degree in Water Supply and Environmental Hydraulic/Water Resources/ Irrigation/ Civil Engineering or its equivalent and meet the admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The program is designed in the way to tackle the problems associated to water supply and sanitation (environmental pollution due to improper management of liquid and solid waste) and to achieve better results through the provision of appropriate and advanced courses at a post graduate level. The most important rationale for developing this program is the need of the country’s development for skilled manpower that is capable of handling more complex water supply and sanitation problems with little or no guidance. It is imperative that the country’s Growth and Transformation Plans (GTPs) have identified many mega projects and different infrastructure developments in such area and made them at the center of the plan.
