Master's International Land and Water Management
Are you interested in developing plans for sustainable crop production on healthy soils with local farmers in Burundi? Would you like to investigate how the growing thirst of Lima threatens the livelihoods of Andean farmers? Or would you like to be involved in the co-creation of scenarios for sustainable use of the flood plains of the Rhine in the Netherlands? The two-year MSc programme in International Land & Water Management explores these kind of land and water management issues at different scales.
