• Oil, Gas, Mining and Environmental Law I • Oil, Gas, Mining and Environmental Law II These modules focus on international environmental law developments that directly relate to the regulation of both private and state-owned energy, petroleum and mining companies. You’ll trace the environmental impacts of each formative stage of the energy, petroleum and mining industries: in particular, you’ll focus on the contextual, underpinning frameworks in which these industries operate. You’ll begin by studying the international law principles surrounding the petroleum and mining industries. The second module moves on to consider the legal aspects of developing industrial installations, in particular as they relate to jurisdictional and environmental impact issues. You’ll also choose two modules from other subject areas. We strongly encourage you to take modules from our International Trade and Commercial Law options, which are highly applicable to the oil, gas and mining industries. Dissertation On completion of the taught modules, you will begin work on your dissertation – an extended piece of academic work, independently researched and written. You’ll be supported in your work with one-to-one supervision from a tutor expert in your chosen field. Subject to academic suitability and the availability of an appropriately expert tutor, you can select your own area of study for the dissertation phase of the course.
