The growing pressure on natural resources has prompted a search for new and renewable energy forms. Alongside other significant impacts upon the environment, 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 global legal knowledge in energy and environmental law, we’ve designed this course specifically to meet that need.

On this Masters course, you’ll explore the intersections between energy, environment and regulation. Expert staff have come together to provide graduates with an in-depth understanding of international energy and environmental...

Take a look at the future and learn how to develop and use models in environmental and energy economics.Make informed decisions about pressing environmental issues. What will our future look like? Will we continue burning fossil fuels or will we live in a 100% renewable world? How can we address climate change and what policies do we need to implement? We will provide you with model examples to make you familiar with aspects of economic modeling and state-of-the-art research on current debates in energy policy. This online course explores these concerns, using models in environmental and energy economics. You will...

Study how government decisions on the provision of energy are structured and enforced. You'll learn about how the rules and agreements link together to access energy and take it to the consumer.

This course focuses on electricity and gas, with options to study hydrocarbon production. You'll examine how energy is regulated, the legal structure of electricity and gas industries, and the liberalisation of energy markets.

You will learn about the pressures of energy transition (using gas as a bridge to more renewable power), energy disputes and dispute resolution, and the influences of environmental standards...

This free online course will introduce you to using the wind as energy. You will study the process by which wind is converted into electricity through an electrical generator and learn about windmills. Finally, delve into emerging designs to reduce the impact on birds. This material will give you a thorough grounding in the many benefits and challenges that come from wind energy.This course introduces you to the concept of capturing wind energy and using it as an alternative source of renewable energy - essentially, how people harness the kinetic energy of air masses. The material will explain the pattern...
