    Postgraduate Certificate Programs in Environmental Law

    Available for a wide variety of disciplines and niche topics, postgraduate certificates can provide students with a cost-effective alternative to other high-level degrees. Typically, students must hold a related undergraduate degree for admission into these programs.

    What is a postgraduate certificate in environmental law? Most scholars in this field survey the governance of natural resources and their distribution, delving deeply into the legalities around topics like resource trade, technology development, regulation and environmental conservation. You may have the opportunity to specialize in specific areas of law, such as those surrounding clean air and water, species protection, or environmental protection.  Lastly, you may also receive education in business law as related to the development of green technologies like solar and wind power.

    Legal documentation and analysis are among the many skills you can develop while studying, as well as expert project management and collaborative abilities. In addition to preparing you for advanced education, these skills can help set you apart from career competition.

    Costs can greatly impact your college experience, so it’s best to research potential fees in advance. Many institutions offer dedicated financial departments to assist with inquiries and provide cost estimations.

    Whether in government or the private sector, opportunities are often ample for professionals holding environmental law specialization and the appropriate supporting credentials. Energy lawyers, conservation lawyers, energy consultants and natural resource lawyers are common career destinations for certificate holders, but you may pursue careers in other areas as well. Working within the government, your skills may lend themselves to positions in regulatory bodies concerning water, land, energy or endangered species protection. Alternately, you may find opportunity representing business interests and ensuring regulatory compliance as a risk manager, corporate counsel or compliance officer.

    Although some online opportunities may be available, most students completing a postgraduate certificate in environmental law complete their education in-person. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
