The National University of Vanuatu’s Diploma program in Climate Resilience & Humanitarian Action (CRHA) is uniquely designed to address the climate change challenges and the training needs of Vanuatu. Using an interdisciplinary approach fully aligned with national and regional plans, the CRHA Diploma program provides Vanuatu professionals and students with much-needed skills in climate change, in humanitarian action, and in climate policy and law.

Students can enter the program beginning March 1 by enrolling in the Professional Certificate in Climate Resilience and Humanitarian Action. This is a set of 4 courses that serve as the core of all NUV CRHA diploma programs, providing key skills in Climate Resilience, Climate Change, Humanitarian Action, and Vanuatu/Pacific Economics, Politics and Culture.

The academic skills component will be offered in the second semester of 2023. Where applicable, students may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning, covering courses taken elsewhere or other related experience. Students entering with a Certificate IV from VIT may request a waiving of CRHA 102.

Upon completion of the Diploma, students can seamlessly progress to any of the Advanced CRHA Diplomas.
