Master and PhD programmes in water and coastal management at the University of Cádiz under Erasmus Mundus initiative: an approach to high European educational programmes for managers and researchers

Water and coastlines are shared by all of us, so that the activities in land-locked countries may affect the coastlines far away, in another country. There is therefore a global need for professionals with an understanding of the issues and pressures for appropriate management. The course objective is to train managers and scientists for the Integrated River Basin and Coastal Zone Management, including the Water Framework Directive implementation and sustainability.
