M.Sc Program in Sanitation

The specialised area of inclusive sanitation provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to design and implement sustainable sanitation systems, to engage with local communities and to address the social and public health challenges associated with inclusive sanitation. It focuses on the provision of non-essential services in the context of the sustainable development objectives. The course is aimed at women and men of different backgrounds, in order to recognise the diversity and complexity of the challenges of sanitation in the world. We contribute to a wide range of specialisations, including Disaster Reduction Risk (DRR), Disaster Risk Management (DRM), Climate Change Adaptation, Gender and Discrimination, Disaster Preparedness, Social Environmental Systems (SES), Disaster Resilience (DR), Ecosystem Analysis, GIS and Remote Sensing, Adaptation, Adaptation, Climate Change and Disaster Management, Climate Change and Disaster Management, and Climate Change Economics.
