LLM Environmental Law and Sustainable Development

The LLM in Environmental Law and Sustainable Development provides a unique specialisation in a rapidly evolving area of law that covers a range of issues at the heart of major contemporary developments and debates. At SOAS, we understand environmental law as deeply connected with human and social issues. This is why our introductory course is a course on Law Environment and Social Justice. This also explains why human rights dimensions find repeated place in our courses. We offer a wide range of distinctive modules that combine a focus on core subjects in the field alongside a critical inquiry into the theory and practice of environmental law, particularly as they relate to the Global South.

A 2:1 degree in a relevant undergraduate degree. If you have a lower degree classification, your application may be considered if you can present a strong case, either through relevant work experience, other legal qualifications, or a strong supporting statement. References are not required, but can help build a stronger application if you fall below the 2:1 requirement or have non-traditional qualifications.
