The Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Environmental Hydraulics was created with the idea of integrating students with specialisations in Hydraulics and Fluid Mechanics from the former degrees of Civil Engineering (Granada), Agricultural and Forestry Engineering (Cordoba) and Industrial Engineering (Malaga) under the same roof. The first semester was conceived with two modules of knowledge of basic concepts, broken down into several subjects. This module is common to all specialisations and is held in Granada, at the IISTA (Instituto Interuniversitario de Investigación del Sistema Tierra en Andalucía). In the second semester, students travel to the university where they will study the specialization in which they have enrolled.
During the first four-month period in Granada, students will study the following knowledge modules:
- Foundations and applied methods module (14 ECTS):
- Mathematical and numerical methods.
- Statistical methods.
- Experimental methods.
- Biogeochemical flow dynamics module (16 ECTS).
- Fluid mechanics.
- Ecology of aquatic systems.
- Transport and mixing processes.
- Atmospheric and meteorological dynamics.
Timetable of the subjects of the first semester in Granada
The University of Malaga offers two specialisations within this Master: Aerohydrodynamics of vehicles and Geophysical Flows. Each of the specialisations has four subjects of 6 ECTS and the Master’s Degree ends when the thesis is handed in. The second semester course is held in the Escuela de Ingenierías Industriales of the University of Málaga.
1) Speciality in Aerohydrodynamics of Vehicles:
- Fluid motion around vehicles (6 ECTS).
- Propulsion and control (6 ECTS).
- Experimental techniques (6 ECTS).

2) Speciality in Geophysical Flows:
- Dynamic processes in geophysical fluids (6 ECTS).
- Numerical simulation of geophysical flows (6 ECTS).
