Contents:

This module will be structured by the individual needs and interests of the PhD students in the area of water issues related to the research topic of the PhD candidate. It needs to be an international module on a PhD level at a center of excellence, a University or an international enterprise.

The module can therefore be completed by an individually arranged (and graded!) internship with another scientific institution meeting the standards for modules of the University of Hohenheim. The content of the module should be defined at latest 18 months after the beginning of the PhD study program in consultation with the supervisor or the supervising team and the management of the WPA Research Training Group. A description of the module content confirmed by the hosting institution should be presented to the person in charge of the module for approval.

Professional skills will be related to one of the following research themes:
- water as a resource
- water and climate
- water and health
- water productivity
- water as a societal challenge.
