LLM Environmental Law and Sustainable Development

Part of our comprehensive range of LLM programs, the LLM in Environmental Law and Sustainable Development allows you to deepen your understanding of the law relating to the environment and associated development issues.

You will engage with the legal and ethical challenges posed by sustainable development, and explore global environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity protection, water management, and renewable energy, from the perspective of both developed and developing countries. By encouraging innovation in assessing current environmental problems, the course will prepare you to work in legal practice, whether you choose to go into a commercial organization, the public sector or a non-governmental organization.
