Technische Universität (TU) München
The Institute of Water and Environment of the TU München unites the traditional faculties of hydrology, water management, hydraulic engineering and water quality under one roof to enable closely coordinated, cross-sectoral water research. Correspondingly, teachings offered in the courses of environmental engineering and civil engineering of the TU München both enable an integrative, multi-sectoral look at water.
Teaching at the Institute of Water and Environment of the Technische Universität (TU) München takes place within the scope of the bachelor and master courses of environmental engineering, ending with the Bachelor resp. Master degree.
