Safe and clean water is becoming increasingly scarce, and conflict over water is growing. As a Master's student of Hydrology, you will dive into global and local water challenges and find sustainable solutions. You will learn to understand the hydrological cycle and its impact on society.
Hydrology at VU Amsterdam
Hydrologists are needed everywhere. The Netherlands is known for its experts in the field of water management. So, where better to study hydrology than in Amsterdam! In our Master, you will investigate water challenges and processes from a systems perspective. The Master offers interdisciplinary perspectives, a personal teaching style, and has a hands-on, international and real-world approach.
During the programme you will gain skills that allow understanding the processes driving the water cycle, and enable you to address risks related to water quantity (such as floods and droughts) and water quality (such as pollution).
