14 Alumni L&O: what are they doing? - Research (PhD students) - Rijkswaterstaat, Deltares, Water authorities - Consultancy (e.g. Arcadis) - NGO s (e.g. WNF) - Education

15 M.Sc. Hydrology programme Prof. Jeroen Aerts and Dr. Hans de Moel

16 In the Master s programme in Hydrology, you will study processes that regulate the quantity and quality of water and how to quantify risk for society using state of the art models and sensor based hydrology. You will become a water expert MSc Hydrology 2.0
