Department of Environmental Studies
The department is being proposed for the Environmental Studies degree programmes in order to train cadres skilled in environmental studies of importance to Tanzania development. Graduates will be able to identify, assess and rectify environmental problems. The programme is designed to provide the scientific and managerial skills needed to tackle the environmental challenges of the 21st Century. In order to address these issues, the Environmental Studies degree program at OUT offers an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the serious environmental problems that we face in this century. The degree program in Environmental Studies is a multidisciplinary forum for the study of scientific, political, social and humanistic aspects of environmental problems. Presently, only a few expertises are available in this sensitive and relatively new field in Tanzania.
