CAT is regarded as Europe’s leading Eco Centre and provides many activities including education for all ages, a visitor centre and information service as well as providing higher education at postgraduate level through the Graduate School of the Environment. The Prof Dip programme runs as a series of fixed teaching sessions, each session consists of 6 days per month at CAT (apart from August and December), a study tour in December and a 10 day summer school in August. Students are required to complete all of these sessions over a period of 18 months. The teaching events each month are residential and the time involved in each is equivalent to 15 credits. Students on the programme complete 6 x 30 credit modules and 1 x 60 credit module over a period of 18 months, there is no part time route through the programme. The number of students on the programme is gradually building with 2 intakes to date. There are currently 40 students on the programme.
