The programme offers unique opportunity for students to enhance their knowledge in the field of water resources. It exposes and introduces the candidates to modern methods and techniques of analysis, synthesis and monitoring and bring them in contact with related technical problems and the ways of alleviating or combating them.

The targeted groups in the hydrology programme are civil engineers and related disciplines interest to get specialized in hydrology. The basic requirement is first degree (B.Sc.) in civil engineering or related disciplines.

The first intake to this programme started in the academic year 2000-2001. The annual intake increased steadily from 6 students in the academic year 2000-2001 to twelve in the academic year 2003-2004 and jumped to 15 students in 2005/2006

The full M.Sc. programme is structured to take two academic years (18 months). The first year comprised of two semesters 15 weeks each during at least 10 courses were taught. The second year is dedicated for research work the outcome of which is consolidated in form of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the M.Sc. degree in hydrology. The academic year normally starts in the first week of April. For details of the time schedules see Schedules.
