Management of Hydrometeorological Hazards - Hydrohasards – (M.Sc.)

The main objective of the common Greek-French Postgraduate Program of Studies “Management of Hydrometeorological Hazards” is the training of engineers and scientists in the comprehension of the meteorological and hydrological hazards and their education in the scientific principles and the methodological tools that will render them capable to practically solve problems of hydrometeorological hazards management and civil protection. Emphasis is given on dealing with corresponding issues in Europe and particularly in the Mediterranean, in the framework of climate change.
At the same time, students will benefit from the experience and knowledge of internationally recognized researchers, specialized in management of hydrometeorological hazards and civil protection, who will teach in this postgraduate study program. The knowledge and skills acquired are particularly useful in the countries of the European Union and the Mediterranean as well as in the developing countries of our planet. Consequently, the offered specialization in this postgraduate program can constitute not only a successful extension of basic undergraduate studies of Greek and French graduates who have a first degree in the Environmental Science and Engineering, but also of students coming from the Balkans and the Mediterranean.

The offer of specialized knowledge in the management of hydrometeorological hazards renders the offered specialization and program unique in Greece and France. The scientific enlargement of the study program is also strengthened by the geographic and thematic breadth of the experience of the two pedagogic teams and the level of the participating teachers. Thus, students (from France, Greece, and the other above mentioned countries) attending the postgraduate program “Management of Hydrometeorological Hazards” will integrate their undergraduate studies, deepening their knowledge and extending their horizons.
