Learning objectives

The Master Water Management and Governance at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education  aims to develop knowledge, insight and skills required to design, implement and evaluate water management policies and strategies to achieve effective governance of water resources. 

Once you have successfully completed this programme, you will be able to:

• describe the rational for an integrated and interdisciplinary approach for managing the water system;

• identify and critically assess the different functions of the water resources system and the – often competing – interests of the various water users;

• design, apply and evaluate models for institutional arrangements with emphasis on institutional reforms, policy development and good governance;

• conduct, independently or in a multidisciplinary team, research.

• The eventual learning objectives depend on the thematic study profile, in which you can enroll during the course of the programme.
