The Erasmus Mundus Flood Risk Management course was created in 2011 with the aim to create one of the most comprehensive flood risk courses in the world. The current group of students, who run and submit all the content of this blog, are the first year of the course.
As with all Erasmus Mundus courses, it looks to bring together some of the most able students from across the world and use the variation in their academic backgrounds and abilities to create an impressively strong group of students. Eighteen students were selected from around the world, with a focus placed on equality and, as such, there are 9 EU and 9 non-EU students, whilst there is also an equal number of males and females.

The Flood Risk Management course is offered by a consortium of European Educational institutes:
- UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (the Netherlands)
- Technical University of Dresden (Germany)
- Technical University of Catalonia (Spain)
- University of Ljubljana (Slovenia).
The course focuses on a holistic approach to managing floods, an approach that is growing in popularity and has been identified in the European Parliament's Flood Directive. Through the selection of eighteen students from both different social and academic backgrounds, the utilisation of four separate leading academic institutes and a carefully selected diverse range of modules, the course never loses sight of the holistic approach to FRM.
The course's structure is outlined below:
