Comparative analysis of structure and model of EU/WB curricula Comparison is quite difficult Different education systems 3 years Bachelor + 2 years Master 4 year education + 1 year Master High schools Research colleges Etc. Same overall goal of educated Water Resources Managers Strengthening of master curricula in water resources management for the Western Balkans HEIs and stakeholders www.swarm.ni.ac.rs
Definition of needs of existing study programmes Lack of water-related courses in curricula Basic education (Bachelor) versus specialisation (Master) increased offer of courses/modules (e.g.: Project management for hydraulic engineering, sediment management, consideration of aquatic ecology, etc.) Strengthening of practical and/or laboratory exercises Improved education material (e.g.: Laboratory equipment, software, etc.) ??
