Dear Sr. Forestry & environmental officials and colleagues,
Here is the final curriculum for the Certificate in Environmental & Forestry studies, which we promised to put on web last time. UWEFI will be implementing this curriculum from the academic year 2008. We know we are late to put on the forum but as we all know, our modules are dynamic. So we will still have room for comments and improvement.
As in diploma curriculum , it consists of two parts: module descriptor and module description. These two have to be read together to get an overview of the whole curriculum.
Looking forward to your comments, views and endorsement too!!
