This speciality seeks to equip scholars with the knowledge to understand, interpret and apply contracting terminologies and clauses irrespective of the contracting mechanism - Contracts, Grants, Co-operative Agreement etc. Scholars need not have a legal background to apply for this speciality but it is definitely an added advantage especially when applying for Grants and Contract roles within the development space.
