The  Department  of  Civil,  Mining  and  Process  Engineering  is  a  permanent  member  of  the  (SADC)  Waternet.  Since  2001,  the 
department  engaged  itself  in  supporting  (SADC)  Waternet  with  curriculum  development  and  therefore  is  offering  the 
specialisation module “Water for People”.

The Integrated Water Resources Management Modular Master Programme (IWRM ‐ MMP) is accredited SADC wide and through 
UNESCO‐IHE and meets international standards.
 
The complete curriculum over two semesters was implemented at the Universities Dar es Salaam, Harare, and Western Cape, with 
the  University  of  Malawi  and  the  Polytechnic  of  Namibia/Namibia  University  of  Science  and  Technology  supporting  SADC 
stakeholders with one specialisation module each. (Water for People‐ Polytechnic of Namibia/Namibia University of Science and 
Technology).
 
This module  lends  itself  for  best  capacity  building  options  at the  Namibia  University  of  Science  and  Technology  for  upgrading 
current  curricula  to  international  standards  with  the  support  of  SADC  higher  education  institutions  and  the  UNESCO‐IHE  in 
Delft/NL. 

The University therefore only offers the module “Water for People” which consists of the last semester for the Integrated Masters 
programme.

Students should have already completed two or more semesters at participating Universities and will only be registered for the
above module which consists of four courses
