Water Technology
Every day, two million tons of sewage and industrial and agricultural wastewater is discharged into water bodies.
In this Master's programme, you will learn how water can be treated not only efficiently, but also in a sustainable and economical manner. You will obtain knowledge and skills to address water-related challenges in the future.
Teaching in this Master's programme is based on existing and future water treatment challenges. Novel and advanced technologies are at the core of the studies, and course contents are planned based on industrial and municipal requirements as well as the most recent scientific advancements.
The delivery of courses is blended, which means that the programme is a combination of on-campus and online studies. Most of the obligatory specialisation studies require participation in contact teaching in Mikkeli in the form of lectures, exercises, or laboratory assignments. Some of the courses can be completed as distance learning. Students admitted to the programme should prepare to attend classes on campus when needed.
You must complete one of the following degrees:
- Bachelor of Science in Technology or closely related to Technology completed in a University, all countries
- Bachelor of Engineering completed in a University of Applied Sciences (EU/EEA countries and Switzerland)
AND you must have completed
- a minimum of 24 ECTS credits of previous studies supportive to Water Technology; Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or Environmental Technology
Applicants must include their certificates of employment to the work experience they have listed. The certificates must indicate whether the job was full-time or part-time and the percentage of part-time compared to full-time (100%).
Certificate of employment is an official document from your employer specifying
- the starting date of your employment,
- the date of termination of your employment, or an indication if employment is continuing,
- the nature of your work, e.g. job description, duties, and responsibilities.
It must also include the name and contact details of the employer and be signed or electronically authenticated by the employer.
You may find work in the chemical and process industry (users of pure water) and technology companies focusing on water purification.
You can also find jobs in municipal water treatment plants or research institutes, where you can develop new water treatment processes and technology, novel separation and purification materials, and water quality monitoring methods.
You will also obtain a firm basis to continue your studies in doctoral programmes.
