BSc. Natural Resource Economics

Duration: 3 Years

The BSc. Natural Resource Economics degree is designed to contribute to the challenges of developing natural resources while sustaining biodiversity and minimizing environmental degradation.This challenge is especially real in the developing world where natural resources are basic to national economic development. By focusing on the biophysical controls of the state of the resources and linking these to the socio-economic environment, this program exposes students various options of sustainable development. This does explain the multidisciplinary nature of the course with various tools to explore the linkages between natural resources / environment with poverty and politics within the context of emerging issues and concepts like climate change, ecological debt, and gender equity. Furthermore, consideration is given to the international orientation of these issues / concepts bringing on board the need to understand multilateral environmental agreements and thereby be in position to negotiate environmental deals across the borders.
