It was designed as a response to the growing demand for Natural Resource Economists both from Government institutions and the Private sector. The degree programme as a discipline analyses the economics of the use of natural resources and their impacts on the environment for sustainable development. The programme provides comprehensive training in economics, environmental science, and the management of natural resources. It integrates the concepts, principles, and methods of these subject matter areas into a very practical degree programme.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d258bc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d258bc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Programme Rationale<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-719a9a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"719a9a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Bachelor of Science in Natural Resource Economics seeks to create a workforce with knowledge, skills and competences aimed at producing qualified Natural Resource economists,\u00a0\u00a0 capable of promoting sustainable exploitation and use of natural resources. The increasing demand for natural resources especially in Developing countries call for development of a human capital base equipped with economic competences to deal with the global trends of resource exploitation amidst resource scarcity. Furthermore, there is a remarkable increase in demand for Natural Resource economists who are capable of handling the emerging environmental related challenges and opportunities arising from the exploitation and use of natural resources. Therefore, the programme is designed to answer the training and career needs of professionals who serve as focal point experts in designing and analyzing policies related to exploitation and use of natural resources, and their consequential environmental impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f6c9565 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4f6c9565\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.7.1 - 14-08-2022 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"285\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/uaenre.risidev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/7837252776_52dc39b50e_o-2-e1660925726543.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8ad8bc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b8ad8bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Programme Objectives<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-543d5e06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"543d5e06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The main objective of the Bachelor of Science in Natural Resource Economics program is to equip graduates with knowledge, skills and competencies aimed at promoting proper exploitation, valuation and use of natural resources together with the consequential environmental impact for sustainable development.
