Integrated flood risk management aims to reduce the human and socio-economic losses caused by flooding while taking into account the social, economic and ecological benefits from floods and the use of flood plains or coastal zones. The need for the adoption of a holistic integrated approach to managing flood risks has been reflected in the Flood Directive of the European Parliament.

A new Erasmus Mundus Masters Course on Flood risk management is offered by the consortium consisting of UNESCO-IHE (the Netherlands), TU Dresden (Germany), UPC Barcelona (Spain) and University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). During the 2-year programme students follow semester one at TUD, semester two at UNESCO-IHE, semester three at UPC and University of Ljubljana, and semester four (thesis work) at one of the institutes or with an industrial partner.

Successful candidates receive MSc degrees from TU Dresden, UNESCO-IHE and UPC, Barcelona.
