An international adventure
Doing a European master is not only about studying. As you journey through Europe you will have the chance to get to know many new places, experiences and friends. Take a look at what some of our past students got up to.
So many memories are close to my heart—the first intro sessions, the potluck in Dresden where we got to taste amazing cuisines from all over the world, the autumn beauty of Tharandt, biking around the canals in Delft, having my first ever experience in the beautiful ocean in Florida and Barcelona, and, of course, the unforgettable Florida field trip. That trip really brought all of us in the flood risk management program closer, not just as friends, but as a family.
