Educate is an international postgraduate course in Water Resources and Environmental Management organised by four leading Universities in the South-Eastern European region. The first year of the course is funded by the INTERREG III B CADSES Programme.
The objective of this postgraduate programme is to assist the regional transnational cooperation on Water Resources and Environmental Management. This is achieved by shaping highly trained graduates into future policy makers who can rise to positions of leadership in their fields and perform their function professionally and with an understanding of the perspectives of the entire region.
The course directly contributes to the development of sustainable solutions for environmental management and pollution abatement, by advocating to students a strategy that considers spatial development and its individual components in the context of sustainability. In addition to their academic work, students will develop a variety of learning skills and competencies, such as research, communication, and other professional skills, learn to orient themselves in European networks of academic institutions and elaborate on relevant career objectives and strategies.
The postgraduate course is a flexible distance learning programme based on e-learning. All educational material, lectures and tutorials are developed in English. The Academic Programme is organised as a pedagogic continuum and includes four Thematic Areas and a research thesis.
The Consortium includes the National Technical University of Athens, the University of Belgrade, the Technical University of Civil Engineering of Bucharest and the University of Ljubljana.
