LLM International Energy Law

Program Overview

---

Our LLMs from our our new Master's in Law suite of programmes are designed for law and non-law graduates who want to explore the practical application of a particular, specialist area of the law. Study face to face or online.

Course Details

The LLM International Energy Law will provide you with the opportunity to explore issues surrounding international energy law. You will examine the public international law rules with regard foreign investment and trade in energy; specific energy sectors (in particular oil and gas and renewable energy); and how energy activities impact human rights and the environment.

When you study the LLM International Energy Law with us you will:

• Be taught by subject matter experts, former and current practitioners and research and teaching focused academics
• Focus on legal practice, not just theory
• Benefit from strategic partnerships with firms, regulators and accreditation bodies
• Learn about Legal Technology by selecting to study modules in legal technology
• Improve your employability by gaining important transferable skills and mapping your career with our careers team

In addition to a general induction to the programme, there is a two-week induction covering the Key Principles of the English Legal System. This is compulsory for non-law students, but also open to students wanting a refresher in the fundamentals of the law of England and Wales. This would be useful for any student who has taken a considerable break from legal education.

To help prepare you for your dissertation you’ll study a range of compulsory and further optional Research Methods Training sessions.

Assessment

Modules are assessed by a three hour unseen written examination or 4,500 word coursework assignment.

Attendance at one of our UK campuses (or an approved overseas centre by prior arrangement) is required for all examinations, including for online study.

The default campus location for online study is London.
