Overview: With increasing urbanisation, industrialisation and developmental activities as well as new technologies at various sectors of the economy in both developing and developed countries of the world, there are concerns on the concomitant exploitation and depletion of natural resources, environmental degradation and pollution. Nigeria and many other African countries are now gripped by these concerns and it has become crucial to incorporate environmental standards and control as a vital component of development in these countries to ensure rational exploitation of natural resources, ecosystem balance and environmental quality. Achieving this requires sound scientific understanding and specialized training on environmental standards that rest on Applied Ecological principles. The Postgraduate Diploma programme is to provide remedial training in basic courses in Environmental Standards to prepare graduates of universities or equivalent qualifications of those who did not have first degrees in Environmental Standards and related programmes to either pursue postgraduate degree programmes in that field of study or seek employment with certificate obtained. The programme will lead to the award of Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) in Environmental Standards. The programme will consist of course work, field trip, practical, examination and project.
Target Participant: The programme is designed to bridge the gap in students that may wish to undertake either a Master of Science (M.Sc.) programme in Environmental Standards or a Masters in Environmental Standards, but do not meet the stipulated academic qualification. In addition, it will also facilitate further studies for graduates with 3rd class degree in Environmental Standards and other related program/discipline. The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes.
Mode of Study: Content delivery will be conducted by dual (Physical and virtual) mode.
Fees: This novel capacity building programme is an initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria aimed at producing a critical mass of professionals and career growth opportunities for Nigerians in particular, in the areas of Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards and internationally.

Entry Requirements: A candidate must have minmum of:
i. Five (5) Ordinary Level (O' level) credits passes including English Language and Mathematics at not more than two (2) sittings;
ii. Bachelors Degree not lower than Third Class from any recognoized University in Natural or Applied Sciences, Engineering, Agriculture, Humanities, Management or Social sciences, or;
