The International Environmental Law LLM/MSc from Robert Gordon University is designed for legal professionals and environmental experts seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex legal, policy, and regulatory challenges facing our planet. You will explore critical issues such as climate change, energy transition, and the roles of diverse stakeholders, including communities, industry, and international organisations. This postgraduate degree offers a robust foundation in environmental law, equipping you to address pressing global environmental concerns with legal expertise and strategic insight, whether you hold a law degree or come from a technical or policy background.
This Master's degree is studied full-time on campus over one year, comprising eight taught modules and a dissertation. The curriculum is flexible, allowing you to tailor your studies to your specific interests within environmental law, with options to accommodate those with non-law backgrounds through the MSc route or those seeking a formal legal qualification via the LLM. You will engage in rigorous academic study, potentially including the Legal Framework module if required, and benefit from an international cohort, fostering cross-cultural exchange. You will graduate with advanced knowledge and analytical skills, prepared for careers in environmental policy, regulatory bodies, international organisations, or legal practice focused on environmental issues.
