Background

The Advanced LLM in Energy Law is a dynamic part-time, fully-accredited master which brings together the combined knowledge of not one, but four highly-ranked European universities. The Universities of Groningen (the Netherlands), Oslo (Norway), Aberdeen (United Kingdom) and Copenhagen (Denmark) offer this joint degree LLM with an advanced curriculum designed to help participants gain a broader, deeper, more powerful vision of energy law. The programme does not only attract participants from EU countries, but also from countries such as Brazil, Chile, Ghana, Iceland, Mozambique, Norway, and the United States. Many other nationalities are represented as you can see in our testimonials section.

Leading experts in the field of energy law provide the teaching sessions which are complemented by the site visits relevant to the topic of the module. The unique structure allows participants to continue full-time employment and enables them to establish close relationships with fellow participants, lecturers and practitioners during those concentrated teaching modules. Once the four teaching modules are completed, there will be nine months for writing and submitting the Master’s thesis.

Hence, this two-year programme is divided into four teaching modules and a thesis module. A key component of the programme is that for each teaching module the participant spends two weeks in one of the universities and concentrates on specific developments, each with a broad, international and comparative perspective. For every two-week intensive teaching module we have cherry-picked the best expertise and specialist knowledge.
