\"Master<\/h2>\n
The course, offered through the\u00a0IWC Water Research Node at Monash South Africa<\/a>, is designed and taught by international leaders in a broad spectrum of disciplines from four world-class universities.<\/div>\n

This program is based on the successful IWC flagship\u00a0Master of Integrated Water Management<\/a>\u00a0currently offered from Brisbane, Australia. Our students gain the research, strategic and managerial skills they need to advance their careers in the water sector and become future leaders in integrated water management.<\/p>\n

About the course<\/h2>\n

The course comprises an interdisciplinary foundation semester consisting of fourcompulsory units and a three-semester research project. The Master of Philosophy in Integrated Water Management runs over two years and comprises four compulsory course units (first semester) and a research thesis (three semesters).<\/p>\n

The masters research thesis will form the bulk of the course weighting, while the coursework component introduces students to some of the complex underlying concepts, such as biological, social and economic factors, which affect sustainable water management.<\/p>\n

A combination of coursework and research sets this course apart from the normal research-based structure of a masters degree. The coursework will prepare students to conduct a practical and high-quality research project.<\/p>\n
