Browse Programs Admission InformationThis program aims to establish a strong link between the university and the natural environment by training specialists in environmental sciences, particularly in the field of aquatic ecosystems. It allows students to acquire in-depth scientific knowledge and technical skills in the biology, ecology, microbiology, and physical chemistry of aquatic environments. Learners will be trained to assess surface water quality, analyze the impact of contaminants on living organisms, and propose solutions to environmental issues.
The program also includes the study of biomonitoring animal and plant species in the hydrosystems of eastern Algeria, in order to understand their typology and functioning. On a professional level, it aims to address the shortage of teacher-researchers in hydroecology and hydrobiology and to develop research areas applicable in various sectors (health, industry, agriculture, agri-food, water treatment, etc.). It thus prepares students for professional integration or an academic and scientific career in the field of the aquatic environment.
In summary, nine courses can be considered the scientific pillars of the program:
Aquatic Ecosystems: Structure and Function
Systematics of Aquatic Organisms
Biology and Ecology of Aquatic Plants
Biology and Ecology of Aquatic Animals
Bioindicators of Aquatic Environment Quality
Biological Indices and Biomarkers
Population Dynamics
General Hydrology
Analytical and Molecular Methods
These courses provide the backbone of the Master's program, training specialists capable of understanding, evaluating, and restoring aquatic environments using a rigorous and integrated scientific approach.
