Our study programmes

Global Project and Change Management

Would you be interested in co-creating potential solutions to the issue of plastic pollution with other experts? Are you the person who can generate improvements to enhance the quality of life for elderly or vulnerable individuals through the use of new technologies? Perhaps you could assist your government in formulating an inclusive plan to create a sustainable living environment for its citizens? Or aid businesses in their efforts to become more environmentally friendly? These are the types of questions that Global Project and Change Management (GPCM) students discuss during their studies. Throughout this four-year bachelor's programme, our students tackle significant and intricate issues alongside peers and professionals from around the world. As a GPCM student, you will engage in real-life projects for local and international companies, as well as research institutes, right from the beginning. This hands-on approach effectively combines theory with practice, teaching you how to approach complex matters from diverse perspectives. With an international staff and a diverse group of peers, along with opportunities for a minor and an internship abroad, you will start building your own global network. This will thoroughly prepare you for your future career as a changemaker. This small-scale and intensive program offers you the chance to develop as a young professional. Together with your peers and lecturers, you will explore your strengths and passions while enhancing your skill set. The study programme covers a wide range of topics, providing you with a diverse skill set, extensive knowledge base, and a well-rounded educational background upon graduation.

River Delta Development (MSc)

The English-taught Master’s programme River Delta Development is a unique joint degree offered by three universities of applied sciences with complementing expertise in the field of water: HZ University of Applied Sciences (coastal regions), Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences (river systems), and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (urban water). Facilitators of change in delta zones The Master’s programme River Delta Development trains students to be facilitators of change for river deltas. Everywhere in the world, urbanisation and climate change are encroaching upon these fertile, ecologically valuable regions. The challenge is to decrease the vulnerability of river deltas while simultaneously increasing the opportunities for healthy economic and ecological development. In the Master’s programme River Delta Development, these developments are viewed as transitions: progressive, complex changes and adjustments in river delta systems that demand professionals who can intervene effectively. These transitions require innovative, multidisciplinary, and holistic solutions. Versatile delta professionals are required, who not only have knowledge of river delta systems (coasts, seas, and rivers) and the latest developments, but also possess the necessary research and communication skills to make meaningful contributions to these transitions. The central theme of the Master’s programme River Delta Development is: The transition of deltas: from large-scale management to sustainable adaptation. The Dutch delta as an example The universities of applied sciences of HZ, Van Hall Larenstein, and Rotterdam have been collaborating at the Centre of Expertise Delta Technology for several years and are combining their complementing expertise in the fields of coastal regions, river systems, and urban water to create the River Delta Development Master’s programme. This will provide you with insight into how the different component systems operate, how they relate to each other, and how the delta functions as a cohesive system. By focusing (and working, if you choose) on the international context, you will learn how to apply this knowledge in deltas around the world.
