M.Sc. in Natural Resources Sustainability for Land Development (NRSLD) (*)

The NRSLD Master’s program was developed within the SureMap project (Sustainable Resource Management Programme to solve Deserted Challenges), which is co-funded by Erasmus+ and aims to establish interdisciplinary programs that train students to address water, energy & food-related challenges in “Egypt’s 2030 strategy”. It is one of the 4 programs that have been created within SureMap, among 3 other Master’s degrees and 1 Diploma, that will be running through other Egyptian Universities (Aswan University, The American University in Cairo, and Heliopolis University).

Program Vision:
The NRSLD program aims to prepare students with the knowledge and experience for the management and sustainable development of drylands’ natural resources in the local, regional, and international related sectors.

Program Mission:
The Faculty of Science through the NRSLD program seeks to qualify the graduates to be competitive at local, regional, and international levels, by creating an appropriate educational environment and fostering ethically, scientifically and professionally sound approaches that enable graduates to serve the community and the institutions closely related to sustainable development plans.

Water, Energy, Food Technologies Diploma (WEF Diploma) (*)

The professional interdisciplinary diploma in Water, Energy, Food Technologies (WEFT) is an 18 credit hour program. This program aims to qualify professionals in the field of agriculture, energy, water to implement sustainable resource management in desert areas, target, as well as tackle, and provide solutions for water, energy, and food-related challenges addressed in the “Egypt 2030” strategy. This is done by qualifying the participants in different fields, including sustainable resource management, agriculture, engineering, entrepreneurship, and information technology. The program aims to provide participants with a sound technical and practical understanding of innovation, design, entrepreneurship, and managing sustainable WEF projects in the desert. Participants will learn how to identify, assess, and shape WEF nexus challenges into real business opportunities through this program.

Professional Master of Science in Engineering (Specialization in Sustainable Water Engineering and Management) & (Specialization In Sustainable Energy Engineering and Management) (*)

The program (Master of Science in Engineering – M.Sc.), aims to develop research capabilities, scientific thinking, and development in the field chosen by the graduate student from the faculty’s research plan, using modern scientific methods and techniques through studying several advanced academic courses and conducting academic and applied research through an integrated scientific thesis.

The Sustainable Water Engineering and Management master’s program goals is to prepare students for careers as water professionals in a variety of roles and settings and provide highly qualified human resources, distinguished and creative researchers, and contribute to finding technical solutions to society’s problems related to water resources in all areas of life -industrial, infrastructure, agricultural, health, and education.

The Sustainable Water Engineering and Management master’s program objectives are for students to demonstrate knowledge and skills related to:

concepts of sustainable development from a global or macroscopic perspective, elucidating the interconnectedness of natural, social, cultural, and economic networks
distribution of water resources in the world, the flow characteristics, the flow potential, and the causes of the depletion of water resources.
multiple, multi-scale interconnections of water management and multidisciplinary approaches to water management problems
water purification and desalination technology used to convert brackish groundwater or seawater into drinking water.
Sustainability challenges and approaches to desert agriculture and land reclamation, erosion and salinization, desertification, use of trees and straw grids, and landscape restoration.
advanced wastewater treatment technologies
water quality and pollution characteristics in rivers and lakes and the processes that affect them.

The Sustainable Energy Engineering and Management master’s program aims to graduate engineers with advanced scientific capabilities, including:

Providing distinguished education in the field of new and renewable energy technologies and promoting future research in the use of renewable energies.
Conducting research and development work in the field of new and renewable energy and energy efficiency.
Implementation of simulations and calculations in the field of new and renewable energy and energy efficiency by using modern software tools.
Design and evaluation of new and renewable energy applications and energy efficiency in buildings.
Preparing a graduate capable of competing in the labor market by preparing him to deal with the latest technology that makes him able to adapt to the changes that occur in the international community.
Developing and building the student’s personality in taking responsibility, self-reliance and continuous research.

Program structure: Study duration is two years (4 semesters). The student completes 68 ECTS of compulsory courses, 12 ECTs of elective courses, and 40 ECTs for M.SC. thesis.
