Master of Science [M.Sc] [Global Innovation Management (GIM)] From University of Strathclyde

The growing pressure on natural resources has prompted an evaluation of traditional forms of energy, as well as a search for new and renewable energy forms. Energy production, distribution and use have become a priority area for governments, businesses and non-governmental organisations across the world. With a growing demand for employees with specialised legal knowledge in energy law and policy, weÕve designed this course specifically to meet that need.

OnÊtheÊInternational Energy Law and PolicyÊprogramme offered by the University of Stirling, youÕll explore the intersections between energy, environment, investment and regulation. Expert staff have come together to provide graduates with an in-depth understanding of energy law and policy, as well as of key areas of investment law, environmental policy, energy management and economics.

YouÕll be taught by expert staff in law, economics, politics and environmental science. TheyÕll give you clear insight into the relevant legal, political and economic issues related to energy law at the national, regional and international level. ThereÕs also an opportunity for a work-based dissertation.
