International opportunities and relationships: Hydrology master programme

 

General

Water does not adhere to political or linguistic boundaries.  For this reason, education, research and practical application of Hydrology is highly geared towards international cooperation.

Therefore, good English language knowledge is essential for the Hydrology master program as well as the willingness to actively work in the English language; be it with books, journal articles, or presentations (the Chair of Hydrology offers both English and German presentations as part of its Colloquium presentation series).

 

Instruction

Even though lectures are held in German, an emphasis is placed on English literature and is highly integrated into the learning material.  In some instances international guest Professors will conduct lectures in English.

 

Exchange possibilities during M.Sc. Studies

In principle, there is a good possibility for an exchange during the third semester. There, courses at the partner universities can replace electives of the master program hydrology in Freiburg. Following this exchange students can directly start with the master thesis. Hence time for studying is not prolonged.
