A total of seven students completed BWEL including one student (from Indonesia) who already completed the doctoral degree course in September last year.

The major purpose of BWEL is to produce environmental leaders who can address issues related to the water environment from multiple perspectives. Such leaders are expected to demonstrate their strong leadership in solving water quality problems, protection of water resources and the ecosystems in Asia and African countries. They will plan and give solutions to these issues and reduce risks to the environment.

A total of 246 students have completed BWEL since the start of the program in 2009, and many of them have already been playing an active role as environmental leaders in many parts of Asia.
