Global Environment and Climate Change Law LLM

Environmental law is a dynamic, fast-developing and globally important area of law that requires not only specialist legal knowledge but also an understanding of underpinning political, economic and scientific issues.<br/><br/>This programme is designed to equip you with an advanced, multidisciplinary knowledge of the legal issues and techniques related to environmental protection, with special emphases on climate change and the marine environment.<br/><br/>You will analyse and evaluate the historic and ongoing development of international, European and national law for environmental protection, the interrelations between these different levels of law-making, and the interactions between environmental law and other areas of law.<br/><br/>You may also have the opportunity to take environment-related courses from other University of Edinburgh schools, including the School of Social and Political Science, the School of GeoSciences, and the Business School.
