LLM/MSc in Oil and Gas Law (distance learning)
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
The Department of Law at the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen has
launched the first one-year postgraduate masters degree in oil and gas law
which is delivered solely online. The LLM/MSc Oil and Gas Law is aimed
primarily at graduates with a law background but is also suited to
graduates of other disciplines who would benefit from legal training in
relation to their work. The course is designed to equip students with the
analytical skills and knowledge to provide them with a solid foundation for
work in the oil and gas sector and enable them to undertake more
challenging roles within their present employment.
The distance-learning mode has been developed to accommodate the increasing
number of oil industry professionals who need some law training but find it
difficult to commit because of their work and schedules.
Students will critically assess and examine key legal issues in the oil and
gas sector, both in the UK and in other leading jurisdictions. Course
materials have been prepared and are delivered by specialist oil and gas
industry lawyers and academics in the Department of Law. The online course
also includes material on the environmental aspects of oil and gas law.
