Immerse yourself in the dynamic world of water engineering with our exchange programme AquaCycle: Circular Water Technology. You will dive deep into the vital role that water plays in our environment and society. You'll explore technologies to manage and protect this precious resource in a sustainable, circular approach.
In the first 10 weeks of this exchange programme, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the water chain, from precipitation, use of drinking water and process water, sewage systems, wastewater treatment to reuse, by combining a solid theoretical foundation with practical experience. In the last 10 weeks, you'll design and develop innovative systems related to circular water technology at a company, and tackle real challenges. This will be done with a small multidisciplinary group of students as an internship.
This exchange programme is tailor-made for the pioneers, the problem-solvers, and the planet-protectors. If you have a passion for engineering, sustainability, and making a difference, then the exchange programme AquaCycle is the next step in your educational journey. Join us as we make waves in the field of water technology, shaping the future one drop at a time.
Other information: in the first quarter, education will take place for certain weeks at Avans in Breda and other weeks in Den Bosch. Please take travel costs for the commute into account.

Integration of theory and practice in water technology (10 EC):
The student demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of circular water technology. This includes the ability to perform area analysis, quantify available water, and apply biological, physical, and chemical purification techniques. The student will also demonstrate the ability to set up mass balances, understand sewage systems, and explore innovative technologies for water reuse. In addition to this theoretical knowledge, the student will gain practical skills, including the ability to utilize advanced modelling techniques in fluid dynamics and perform water quality analyses.
These competencies will be developed and assessed through a combination of examinations and practical assignments, ensuring that the student will be equipped to apply his or her knowledge and skills in real-world situations in the field of water engineering.
Project water chain (5 EC):
The student optimizes a part of a given water chain of a real-life project in a multidisciplinary group, based on the principles of circularity, taking into account the water quality, water quantity and the environment. The students make one design sketch from all partial results and relate this to the relevant SDGs 6, 9, 11, 13 and 14. (SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation, SDG 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure, SDG 11: Sustainable cities and communities, SDG 13: Climate action and SDG 14: Life below water.)
Group internship (15 EC):
The student applies circular water technology knowledge and skills to a case study at a company in a multidisciplinary group. This results in a relevant professional product for the company.
Examples of companies:
Water boards, such as Waterschap Brabantse Delta, Waterschap de Dommel, Waterschap Aa en Maas, or a drinking water company, such as Brabant Water, or engineering and environment consultancy, such as Sweco, or water technology company, such as Water Future or Pure Water Group, etc.
More information about the programme is available via info.alst@avans.nl or +31 (0)88 - 525 87 88.
The exchange programme AquaCycle: Circular Water Technology is open for students of environmental sciences, chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and related study programs.
Students need to have a technical or technological background and an interest in water-related problems. Students will work in multidisciplinary groups.
Students must obtain VCA (Veiligheid, gezondheid en milieu Checklist Aannemers) in 1st quarter (if not obtained yet). VCA in English: Safety Certificate for Contractors (SCC). The certificate comes with an additional cost of €90 (excl. VAT).

You can participate in an exchange programme at Avans University of Applied Sciences if your home institution has concluded an agreement with Avans. Under this agreement you can be nominated to study with us.
Please read the details on the Applying page or contact your home institution's exchange coordinator for details. Alternatively, you can join us as a freemover.
The programme is open for Dutch students as well as international students within the Erasmus Exchange Program. The requirements for enrolment are:
As an exchange student, you will continue to pay tuition fees to your home institution. This means you do not have to pay tuition fees to Avans.
If your university is not a partner of Avans University of Applied Sciences, you can join us as a full-fee paying student. For more details, please contact the Avans International Office on +31 88 - 525 80 01 or at internationaloffice@avans.nl.
