Thematic Courses

Our modular approach to capacity building enables us to offer one or a group of thematic modules as a thematic course. These courses can be offered as regular courses or customized courses. The thematic approach also allows a diverse mix of participants who are interested in a particular topic. Thematic courses may run from three to five days and may be conducted in-campus or off-campus.

If you are thinking of a Customized Course, you can pick and choose from these topics.
