Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Water Law
The Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Water Law is offered as part of the Water Law Water Leaders (WLWL) summer programme of flexible teaching delivered by our Centre. WLWL is focused on developing a new generation of local water leaders to effect locally-driven and locally-controlled solutions to water issues globally. The PGCert can be completed in 6 to 10 weeks, depending upon modules taken, during the months June - July or August 2011. WLWL modules cover the three core areas of water law - international water law, comparative national water law, and the regulation of water services. Each of these modules lasts three weeks; there is also an online WLWL induction module which students should complete ahead of orientation week. For the PGCert award students need to have successfully completed any three of these four modules.Course Content
