Study Details: 12 months full-time; 24 months part‑time
The LLM in Climate Law & Justice offers an interdisciplinary approach to tackling the legal dimensions of climate and social crises. You will explore how law interacts with climate change, inequality, and global governance across international, regional, and national levels, with a focus on the Global South. The programme combines critical reflection and practical skills to prepare future leaders in climate justice and legal transformation.
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Law.
We may also accept degrees in Politics, International Relations, Economics, Environmental Science, Geology, Energy Engineering, or other relevant subject areas at 2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent).
While we welcome applicants from non-legal backgrounds, it is important to note that this LLM remains a law-focused degree. If applying with a degree that is not Law, please provide a personal statement and an academic reference. Your personal statement and reference should demonstrate why you are well-prepared to undertake a law-focused degree, and explain how you would benefit from studying it.
By the end of the programme, you will be prepared to take leading roles in climate litigation, policy advisory, or further doctoral research, with employers ranging from law firms to UN agencies and environmental organisations.
The programme builds strong skills in climate governance, legal advocacy, and interdisciplinary analysis, supported by practical engagement with policymakers and communities.
A global perspective is embedded throughout the programme, including attention to legal challenges and solutions relevant to the regional and local realities.
