Are you interested in the fascinating world of water and wastewater treatment technologies?

In addition to our successful MOOCs in Water Management – which have seen over 115 000 people from all over the world participate – the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) offers two advanced online courses, especially aimed at working professionals, consultants and academics interested in water treatment technologies and their applications.

Our courses in Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology and Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis will give you a unique opportunity to discover how these technologies work, understand their underlying processes and learn how to implement them. Both courses, accredited by The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) and supported by the International Water Association (IWA), offer a professional certificate and continuing professional development (CPD) credits.

Course Benefits:

    Gain hands-on experience in water treatment.

"I had always been a bit skeptical about online courses, but my experience with this course proved me wrong. This was the course I had been waiting for several years to improve my knowledge of the latest techniques for water treatment. The course provided a unique combination of scientific knowledge, virtual practice and appropriate techniques to design a water treatment system."
