Comparison of hydrology curricula of different disciplines at German universities
Uwe Haberlandt and Hannes Müller
An overview of hydrological study programmes offered by German universities is given. There are only two independent study programmes in hydrology. The majority of study programmes in hydrology is taught within the scope of studies in engineering and geosciences. Similarities and differences in the hydrological curricula of the various disciplines are shown. To this end, a survey among 60 professors from 45 universities has been conducted. The analysis is based on data from 18 universities providing information on 44 different study programmes. The results have shown that structure and composition of these study courses differ significantly in the three disciplines. Both bachelor and master programmes of each discipline have one predominating area of studies. This fact has a major impact on the subsequent knowledge and views of the graduates. ( mehr …)
