    Course Summary

    The oil, gas and mining industries are becoming ever more significant to international law, political machinations and regulatory policy at nearly every level. As such, experts on this aspect of UK and international law are always in high demand.

    NTU’s LLM in Oil, Gas and Mining Law will give you expertise in a rapidly growing industry, and give you what you need to take a position as in-house counsel, with a regulatory body on the national or international levels, or to set up your own practice with a wide range of different specialties.

    You’ll come to understand the key legal issues in this field, explore how relevant laws and regulations affect the industries economically, and build a specific area of expertise which matches your interests and intended career path.

Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market.
