- You will assess how, for example, energy and environmental policy translates into practice, how the energy market operates and the legal implications of carbon emissions, sustainability and climate change.
- You will study two core modules, which will give you a solid grounding in oil and gas policy and law and the regulation and governance of energy markets.
- You can then choose two further modules from a choice of 12, including International Environmental Law, International Law and Business, International Corporate Governance and Financial Risk Management.
