The Strathclyde LLM in Climate Change Law and Policy does not require candidates to interrupt their current occupation or leave their country and family. Instead, it is based on attendance during limited periodic teaching sessions in the unbeatable setting of Cameron House on the shores of Loch Lomond near Glasgow.
The programmes flexibility will make it attractive to anyone working in government, international organisations, law firms and consultancies, the banking and insurance sector, electric utilities, and research, educational and advocacy organisations who wish to obtain a timely qualification and specialist knowledge in an increasingly important field of law and policy.
