Students propose relevant research topics from their home countries, or from Latin American research projects, around which individual study programmes are devised, and on which they write their thesis. The Master thesis is supervised by scientific staff at ETH and collaborating institutions, and is based on the student's academic or professional experience.
Learning objective
The Master Thesis research takes place throughout the duration of the MAS Programme (12 months), complimented by Master level coursework and Seminars focusing on Water Resources and Sustainability. Students become familiar with new research techniques, and receive guidance from experts. The topic of the research should address a relevant water resources problem in the student's home country, and is aimed at enhancing collaboration between academics and professionals in Latin America and in Switzerland.
