Water Technology

In this Water Technology program from LUT University,you will learn how water can be treated not only efficiently, but also in a sustainable and economical manner. You will obtain knowledge and skills to address water-related challenges in the future.

Teaching in this Water Technology program from LUT University is based on existing and future water treatment challenges. Novel and advanced technologies are at the core of the studies, and course contents are planned based on industrial and municipal requirements as well as the most recent scientific advancements.

The delivery of courses is blended, which means that the program is a combination of on-campus and online studies. Most of the obligatory specialisation studies require participation in contact teaching in Mikkeli in the form of lectures, exercises, or laboratory assignments. Some of the courses can be completed as distance learning. Students admitted to the program should prepare to attend classes on campus when needed.

Career prospects

You will acquire practical skills and the latest information about the chemical engineering approach to water treatment.

You may find work in the chemical and process industry (users of pure water) and technology companies focusing on water purification.

You can also find jobs in municipal water treatment plants or research institutes, where you can develop new water treatment processes and technology, novel separation and purification materials, and water quality monitoring methods.

You will also obtain a firm basis to continue your studies in doctoral programs.
