University education for land tenure development
Mattsson, Hans
Ever since 1996, the Unit of Real Estate Planning and Land Law at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) has with support of Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) been instructing students in property law and property economics under a Masterrs programme in Land Management. This has been a programme of 11 years duration, rising in 2007 to two years. The students, totalling about 400 up till now, have been recruited from the civil service and universities, the qualifications for admission being an appropriate basic degree and a relevant employment sector position for becoming an adviser, policy-maker, full-time or part-time university teacher etc. Initially 30 students from the Baltic states, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine were trained annually. The Baltic states have been phased out and other countries gradually substituted, at the same time as the student intake has been increased. At present there are 60 students from 17 countries in former Soviet republics, the Balkans and East Africa.
