Technische Universität Braunschweig

Leichtweiß-Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources

The module “hydromechanics“ is offered in the bachelor course within the scope of the civil engineering education. The master course focuses on “hydromechanics and coastal engineering”.
The faculty is involved in the Forschungs Zentrum Küste, a central facility shared by the University of Hannover and the TU Braunschweig. Swell, coastal morphology and load on building structures can be studied in an experimental hall spanning 5600 m².

Master course ProWater (Distance Learning)

The course teaches knowledge from the fields of hydrology and hydraulics, hydrochemistry and microbiology, sewage and waste treatment as well as the corresponding environmental guidelines and laws. It is also possible to pursue studies in the assessment and economic feasibility of measures or to acquire competencies in moderation and mediation.

At the end of the ProWater telecourse, a Master of Science (MSc) degree can be acquired. The course has been specially developed for engineers and natural scientists working in the field of water pollution control, civil engineering and administration.
