Criteria and Documents

Academic and professional requirements

The programme is designed to be suitable for those having substantial professional legal experience in the field of energy law. Being an executive master, both the academic background and the professional experience of applicants are of importance. The Admission Board of the Advanced LLM in Energy Law will consider applications from those having substantial relevant professional legal experience and holding an LLM degree, an LLB degree or an equivalent qualification from an internationally recognized university. Additionally, the Admission Board also considers applications from those holding a degree in another field than law. In this case, candidates with different degrees (or other equivalent qualification) should not be deterred from applying. Each application is considered on its own merits and, in exceptional circumstances, qualifications of equivalent status may be accepted.

We would like to stress that although the main strength of this executive LLM programme lies in the fact that a great variety of topics is covered throughout the four modules, it is also possible to apply for only one or more separate modules.
