Discover the exciting lives of hydroscience students in Dresden!

Marie has decided to pursue her path in the field of hydrosciences and is studying for a bachelor's degree at the Technical University (TU) Dresden. She documents her experiences in a new vlog that gives exciting insights into her studies. In this vlog she not only shows the practical experiments in the hydraulic engineering hall, but also an impressive excursion to the Tharandter Forest and a relaxing afternoon in the new town. These vlogs not only provide information about studying hydrology, but also about the diverse opportunities for further study that Dresden offers its students.

The student vlogs are part of the YouTube channel TUD Try, which is specially designed for prospective students. These videos provide a look at the students' lives, including their leisure activities in and around Dresden, the stress of learning and the challenges during exam time. Marie's vlog is aimed at prospective students who want to get to know different study programs and the city of Dresden. Further content from other students is also available on the TU Dresden YouTube channel.

Diverse course content

The field of hydrosciences at TU Dresden covers various subject areas, including urban and industrial water management. This field is particularly relevant for future engineers who want to work in wastewater treatment, urban hydrology and process engineering in hydrosystems. TU Dresden offers modular bachelor's and master's degree programs that are tailored to the needs of different target groups, including engineering companies, authorities and scientific institutions.

The Institute for Urban and Industrial Water Management currently has three professorships and employs more than 30 people. The aim of research at this institution is to find solutions to existing problems, improve the qualifications of employees and offer practical teaching that is oriented towards current challenges.

Career prospects for graduates

The career prospects for graduates of the bachelor's degree in hydraulic engineering are promising and diverse. They find employment in drinking water supply companies or work in seawater desalination. The areas of wastewater treatment and disposal are also popular areas of activity. Further possibilities extend from the monitoring and maintenance of industrial water systems to energy suppliers and important industries such as the food, pharmaceutical and semiconductor industries.

Hydraulic engineers also work in monitoring authorities, laboratories and microbiological water laboratories. They also find interesting fields of activity in governmental and non-governmental organizations in development cooperation or in disaster relief. Graduates with postgraduate studies and a doctorate also have the opportunity to work in research and teaching at technical colleges, universities and public and private research institutions.

Overall, the hydrosciences at TU Dresden offer well-founded training that optimally prepares students for the challenges and opportunities of the professional field. Marie's vlog gives those interested a dedicated and personal insight into the course of study, which further illustrates the multifaceted nature of this attractive field of study.
