Water and Ecology Module
Governmental organizations, such as the Dutch Directorate General of Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat), water boards (waterschappen), the World Bank, the UN Development Programme, and a wide range of international research institutes are among those organizations that we expect will be extremely interested in graduates who understand the behaviour of water, economic issues, and governmental organization and decision-making.

Climate and Geo-ecosystems Module
Governmental policy-making, water management, and spatial planning projects need experts with knowledge of climate change and its longer-term environmental implications. We work closely with governmental organizations and companies that are developing spatial concepts, and companies that are strongly influenced by climate change.

Energy Module
Our close connections with potential future employers, including the organization of short industry placements and guest lectures, provide students with excellent opportunities in the (international) job market. The programme produces highly-skilled professionals in key economic areas, including the petroleum and geothermal industries, natural resources, water exploration, and natural hazard mitigation.
