Abstract

Students propose relevant research topics from their home countries or from ongoing research projects at ETH, around which individual study programmes are devised, and on which they write their thesis. The Master thesis is supervised by scientific staff at ETH and collaborating institutions, and is based on the student's academic or professional experience.

Objective

The Master Thesis research takes place throughout the duration of the MAS Programme (12 months), complimented by Master level coursework and seminars focusing on water resources and sustainability. Students become familiar with new research techniques and receive guidance from experts. The topic of the research should address a current water resources challenge in the student's home country or in Switzerland, and is aimed at enhancing collaboration between academics and professionals in Switzerland and abroad.
