Opportunity Description

Application is open for2024/25 DAAD EPOS Scholarship to study  Master of Science in Tropical Hydrogeology and Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt – University of Applied GeoScience in Germany.

Program introduction

Master of Science (Tropical Hydrogeology and Environmental Engineering)  TropHEEis offered for international students who want to pursue their master’s degree in Germany. The TropHEE Master of Science course focuses on applying geoscientific fundamentals to hydrogeology and environmental management issues, with a particular emphasis on sustainable development in tropical and subtropical countries. It offers a comprehensive, research-oriented education in Hydrogeology and Environmental Geosciences and Engineering at the Master’s level as part of the international development cooperation framework

Different basic subjects are included in the study program, which is elective depending on the student’s undergraduate studies: Geology, Rocks and Minerals; Hydrogeology; and Geo-Information Systems (GIS). A six-week field trip to a semiarid region for practical training and a project seminar are mandatory.

TU Darmstadt does not provide scholarships, so applicants who require financial aid should apply for scholarships from external sources such as the DAAD. It’s important to note that the scholarship application process typically takes several months.
