Course summary

LLM International Energy Law aims to provide you with a critical understanding of current issues relating to energy and environmental policy and regulation at an international level. The course introduces you to key international legal principles and frameworks regulating the energy sector and considers their application to global energy industries at a moment when the international community is seeking to address the challenges of climate change.

The Course adopts a ‘reflective’ approach. It provides you with a fundamental understanding of the international legal framework governing natural resources and how climate change concerns have translated into policy. It also places significant emphasis upon the regulation of renewable and more sustainable energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower (sunrise energy sources) as well as the use of traditional mining activities.

The course will help you develop a strong analytical understanding of key legal principles and frameworks relating to the international energy industries, as well as an understanding of the shifts in approach in international environmental policy towards more sustainable forms of energy. LLM International Energy Law permits high-level specialisation in the field and the development of critical awareness of a range of contemporary issues which pertain to the sector, such as the quest to mitigate the effects climate change.
