Humanitarian Engineering
Master
Promoting well-being of underserved communities is not just an act of charity. If you want to create sustainable, impactful solutions that empower communities towards better health, stability, and self-sufficiency, you need a scientific approach – an approach that requires knowledge of engineering as well as sociocultural dynamics.
Do you feel called to tackle complex humanitarian challenges worldwide and co-create sociotechnological solutions together with people on location? For example, by contributing to disaster-resilient housing made from recycled plastic, developing water filtration systems for safe water access or developing renewable energy solutions for refugee camps? Then the Master’s in Humanitarian Engineering is right for you! You will be prepared for a meaningful career in organisations such as NGOs, international development agencies, and governmental bodies, where you can work on innovative solutions to drive sustainable development and make a lasting impact.
