Corporate Environmental Planning (Specialist Diploma) offered by the centre for Adult Learning & professional Development through the College of Science & Engineering. First offered in AY2019- 2020 and running annually as a 1 year part-time, 30 ECTS at NFQ level 8.

This is a new practice-based course developed by NUI Galway and Next Level Skillnet. This course provides an overview of the evolution of environmental planning and management and its relationship to society and industry today. Drawing on contemporary examples, this course explores the roots and principles of environmental planning and management in practice, introducing students to a range of conceptual and practical approaches. It prepares students with the knowledge and skills to be leaders and decision makers in developing solutions for contemporary environmental issues in industrial and commercial environments. It also provides students with an understanding of waste legislation, the key issues and practical implications in relation to waste management and focus on lean processes and waste prevention.
