UNESCO-IHE conducts a wide range of short, intensive and highly specialised courses which are aimed at upgrading and refreshing the knowledge and skills of mid-career professional and senior experts. Short courses are meant for professionals – or groups of professionals – with a specific area of interest and a limited amount of time.
The focus and content of short courses vary from specialised and technical matters to challenges and approaches in management.
Didactical methods used in these short courses include lectures, individual or group exercises in the classroom, behind the computer, or in the laboratory.
Fieldwork, excursions and field visits to relevant sites often are a part of a short course, allowing the participants to come into contact with practical examples of the theory offered.
Through case studies, role-plays and workshops, content is made more interactive, and experience that the participants already have is shared.
