IHE Delft continues the work that was started in 1957 when a postgraduate diploma course in hydraulic engineering was first offered to practicing professionals from developing countries. In 1976 the name International Institute for Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (IHE) was introduced.
IHE Delft offers a wide variety of educational courses in the field of water. In addition to four MSc Programmes and the PhD Programme, the Institute also offers a range of short and online courses tailored to specific needs.
IHE Delft centres its education, research and capacity development programmes on the focal themes of: Safe Drinking Water & Sanitation, Water-Related Hazards & Climate Change, Water & Ecosystems Quality, Water Management & Governance, Water, Food & Energy Security and Information & Knowledge Systems. In addition, important emerging areas are addressed in the education and research programmes, such as water conflict management, climate and global change adaptation, and urban water systems.
Graduates start or resume a career dealing with water and sanitation services, managing the urban water cycle, water policy and planning, environmental regulation or civil engineering design and construction in the water sector or related sectors such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture or mining.
