14. EEM The Urban Water Engineering and Management programme is jointly offered by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (UNESCO-IHE). The UWEM programme is a double degree programme. Students who successfully complete this programme will be awarded two Master degrees: one from UNESCO-IHE and one from AIT. The degree students receive from UNESCO-IHE is the degree in Municipal Water and Infrastructure, with a specialisation in Urban Water Engineering and Management. AIT will award the degree of Master of Engineering in Urban Water Engineering and Management. Programme structure and contents The Urban Water Engineering and Management Programme offers students the possibility to study in Bangkok, Thailand, and in Delft, the Netherlands, at two renowned institutes for international post­graduate education: AIT and UNESCO-IHE. The coursework part of the programme starts at AIT in Bangkok in August, where students follow a number of courses until the second half of December. In early January, they move to Delft where they join students in UNESCO-IHE’s Municipal Water and Infrastructure programme for five modules and the international field trip. Students then have the option to either remain in Delft (Option 1) or move back to Bangkok (Option 2) for their additional coursework and individual MSc thesis research work. Subjects at AIT ( August – December ) Watershed Hydrology Drinking Water Treatment Wastewater Treatment Integrated Water Resource Management Subjects at UNESCO-IHE ( January – May ) Integrated Infrastructure Concepts Urban Drainage and Wastewater Collection Water Sector and Utility Management Integrated Asset Management Systems Water Transport and Distribution International Fieldtrip & Fieldwork At AIT or UNESCO-IHE ( June onwards ) Elective Subjects/Groupwork MSc Proposal & Thesis work
