Master's of Water Technology

The MSc in Water Technology at LUT University focuses on technical study of water systems used in cities and industries. Core studies include water treatment processes, membrane technology, hydrology basics, and water quality control. Laboratory work supports understanding of real treatment methods used in purification plants.

Students take part in project courses that address water supply systems, wastewater handling, and reuse solutions. Teaching links classroom study with research groups working on filtration systems, chemical treatment methods, and monitoring tools.

Graduates gain skills for technical roles in water utilities, environmental consulting firms, and industrial plants. Some continue into research or doctoral studies in water engineering fields. The program builds strong competence in water system design and analysis used across different sectors.

Applicants need a relevant bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, process engineering, energy engineering, or a related field. Strong background in mathematics, chemistry, and engineering subjects is required. Academic transcripts, degree certificates, CV, motivation letter, and proof of English proficiency form part of the application package.

International students may work part-time under Finnish residence permit rules. Work hours must fit around full-time study requirements.
