A postgraduate-level module for your continuing professional development (CPD). This covers the regulations and guidelines around Environmental Impact Assessments and the process and techniques involved in conducting these.
The level 7 Certificate of Credit in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a 20-credit module providing a sound appreciation of the importance of conducting EIA, together with an understanding of the techniques involved. The module, which takes a comparative international outlook and covers changes in EIA regulation and guidelines, also considers the environmental assessment of plans and programmes by strategic environmental assessment (SEA).
This module is suitable for intending and existing environmental management professionals seeking to increase or refresh their knowledge and understanding of the EIA process. While this module is an opportunity to enhance your CPD and add to your professional portfolio, it is also an excellent opportunity to experience our Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA)-accredited Sustainability and Environmental Management MSc before making a commitment to study the full programme. By completing this module, you will gain a critical understanding of international environmental assessment practice and its potential for delivering sustainable development.
Assessment method
This course is assessed through 100% coursework with a range of methods, such as essays, research reports, presentations, group work and practical reports.
