Program details

Overview

The Graduate Certificate in Water Resources is a one-year, 9-credit-unit certificate offered by the University of Saskatchewan's School of Environment and Sustainability. It is designed for working professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of hydrological theory, data analysis, and modelling, and can serve as a pathway into the Master of Water Security degree. The certificate consists of three required courses: ENVS 805.3, ENVS 815.3, and ENVS 819.3. Classes are delivered fully online, allowing students to complete the certificate while continuing to work. The program targets applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline and want to build specialized expertise and professional networks in water resource management, without committing to a full master's degree program of study.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a four-year degree, or a three-year degree meeting Bologna Declaration equivalency, in a relevant discipline, with a minimum cumulative weighted average of 70% in the last two years of study.

A minimum TOEFL score of 86 or IELTS score of 6.5 is required for English language proficiency.
