This course (available on both a full-time and part-time basis) is intended both for those who have no prior legal education but want a focused introduction to law through a study of natural resources law, and for those with a prior legal education who wish to specialise in the field of natural resources law. The course is made up of two compulsory subjects (Introduction to Law; Introduction to Natural Resources Law) and four subjects chosen from a range of options (offered on the basis of demand and teaching resources). Those who have studied law previously may be exempted from some compulsory subjects and allowed to study additional optional subjects.

Subjects will be offered on a mixed mode basis, combining intensive residential schools with directed reading and writing.

Assessment may be based on assignments, participation in class discussions, examinations and research essays.

Note: This course is currently under review. Please contact the Faculty of Law Postgraduate Co-ordinator for more details.
