Careers Opportunities

As available water resources become more scarce, the need for their improved allocation and use becomes more pressing. The management of resources and the provision of services both require effective legal structures.

For students with a background in law or a related discipline, this programme will give them the specialisation and research ability to be attractive to a wide variety of employers including government departments, regulators, water services providers, international organisations and NGOs as well as academia or industry.

For those already working in water resources, this qualification will give them the expert knowledge and skills in law to advance their career, perhaps within a government department, a regulator, water services providers or a basin agency.

"The Centre provides exceptionally rigorous and intense graduate education through the LL.M. in Water Law and its seminal doctoral programs. International in outlook, practical in approach, theIHP-HELP UNESCO Water Law Centre is rapidly becoming one of the foremost centers of water law and policy education and scholarship.

Graduates of the Centre will be among the world's leading water experts in the years and decades to come."
Prof William Fox, Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Energy, Petroleum & Mineral Law & Policy at the University of Dundee

"With a background in corporate law I decided to take time off to invest in my education and broaden my career opportunities. Coming from Australia, I was aware of the importance of water as a national and global issue. I was looking for a highly regarded course in water law offering breadth and depth, all delivered within a manageable time frame. I got all this and more from the  IHP-HELP Centre; Integrated water learning offered in a stimulating and truly global environment. A year of great learning and opportunity"
Ruxandra Lazarescu, LLM Water Law student


"Studying here at the UNESCO Centre is providing me a wonderful opportunity to put strong framework and theoretical background, to all the field work I have been doing in Asia for the past years. The environment is very international and friendly, and I am truly enjoying my time here. "
Yumiko Yasuda, PhD student
