 Teaching methods:

The aim is to introduce students to the legal and economic aspects of natural resource and environmental management and regulation. This course highlights the close links between economic development and the need to protect the environment.

This program offers a high degree of flexibility in addressing a wide range of issues and a constantly evolving legal framework. The courses, taught by academics, specialists in environmental law and economics, and professionals, enable us to achieve this dual objective of practical applicability and adaptability. These courses are supplemented by a seminar that allows for i) the practical application of regulatory monitoring and ii) a synthesis of quality standards.

In-person instruction: CM: 40.5 hours – DS  9.5 hours

Assessment methods: –2-hour written exam – Continuous assessment (worth 10 points)
