45 Erasmus Mundus master’s students graduate in ceremony at IHE Delft
Following intense studies in multiple European countries and at IHE Delft, 45 students from 25 countries recently received their diplomas in a celebratory graduation ceremony at IHE Delft.
The students graduated from the Flood Risk Management and the Groundwater and Global Change – Impacts and Adaptation (GroundWatCh) MSc programmes. Both programmes are supported by the European Union through its Erasmus Mundus programme.
Students in the Flood Risk Management master moved between IHE Delft, the Technical University of Dresden, Germany, UPC Barcelona , Spain, and University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, during their studies. Students in the GroundWatCH programme spent their studies at IHE Delft, the Technical University of Dresden and Instituto Superior Tecnico at the University of Lisbon, Portugal. Both programmes also include working with partners.
The programmes’ coordinators, IHE Delft’s Biswa Bhattacharya and Tibor Stigter, were joined by representatives from all partner institutions as they awarded diplomas to the graduating students.
MSc graduate Jonathan Opoku of Ghana said his studies in the GroundWatCh programme was “a transformative journey marked by growth, friendship, challenges, and self-discovery. During this period, I not only acquired knowledge but also imbibed essential life values, such as perseverance and integrity. As I bid farewell to those cherished years, I carry with me precious memories and invaluable lessons that have shaped and prepared me for the adventures ahead."
Tania Stefania Agudelo Mendieta of Colombia, who graduated from the GroundwatCh programme, said her studies amounted to “an extraordinary and heart-warming journey. It brought immense joy as we had the privilege to collaborate with amazing people who shared our deep passion for water and climate change. What made this experience even more special was the sense of togetherness among our fellow students and professors. This MSc programme was not just an education; it was a journey of happiness, growth, and a profound sense of purpose.”
"This programme was a transformative journey marked by growth, friendship, challenges, and self-discovery. During this period, I not only acquired knowledge but also imbibed essential life values, such as perseverance and integrity."
