This diagram illustrates how taking core courses and research-based advanced courses can lead to various future developments.

Core Courses

You need to take courses from these three groups and compulsory courses:

1. Hydrological Cycles (Choose at least one out of two): Land Hydrological Processes, Atmospheric and Oceanic Processes

2. Hydrospheric Environmental Sciences (Choose at least one out of three): Fluid Dynamics, Aquatic Chemistry, Nearshore Oceanography and Hydrodynamics

3. Hydroinformatic Technologies (Choose at least one out of two): Applied Mathematics Methods, Applied Numerical Methods, Data Analysis

Compulsory Courses

You must also take: Seminar (for 4 semesters), Journal Study (for 4 semesters), Special Topics (in 2nd year)

Research Fields & Advanced Courses

Base on research fields, these are more focused topics you can explore after your core courses. They include:

Ocean Environments: Air-sea Interaction, Ocean Wave Dynamics, Modeling of Aquatic Chemical Systems

Surface Hydrology: Special Topics on Hydrological Modeling, Groundwater Numerical Simulation, Watershed Hydrological Simulations

Tsunami Science: Computational Fluid Dynamics, Small Amplitude Wave Theories, Spatial Analysis and Modeling

Mechanics of Immiscible Fluids in Porous Media: Introduction to Porous Media Flow, Immiscible Fluids in Porous Media, Optical Measurement Techniques

Marine Physical: Special Topics on Environmental Turbulence, Introduction to Ocean Dynamics,Theory and Analysis of Ocean Waves

Ocean Models: Introduction to Ocean Dynamics, Introductory Coastal Ocean Processes, Introduction to Oceanic & Atmospheric Modeling

Nearshore Oceanography and Hydrodynamics: Nearshore Oceanography and Hydrodynamics, Field Operation of Physical Survey, Special Topic in Coastal Ocean Modeling

Future Developments
