The LLM programmes already offered by Swansea University are established as specialist Master’s degrees of the highest calibre, attracting enormous attention and support from students from the UK and worldwide. They are also highly regarded by employers and others in the global maritime, insurance and financial community, who rightly value them for their strong mix of practical insight and academic rigour.
Continuing this tradition and extending the existing impressive range of courses on maritime and commercial law, the new LLM in Oil and Gas Law will allow students to come away with a thoroughly detailed, practical and complex understanding of the major legal and commercial issues arising in the practice of oil and gas law.
The business of hydrocarbon energy supply remains one of the most fundamental aspects of global commerce and natural resources law in the modern era. It is not limited to exploitation of petroleum
but encompasses many different aspects of law and business, from protecting the intellectual property rights of new oil and gas technology, to complex joint venture contracts, and to compensation regimes
for pollution liability. Students pursuing the LLM in Oil and Gas Law have the opportunity to study an impressive and diverse choice of subjects of relevance to this growing area of law, enabling them to study and understand the complex legal features of the petroleum industry.
The LLM in Oil and Gas Law is taught by a team of acclaimed experts from the internationally renowned Institute of International Shipping and Trade Law (IISTL) at Swansea University.

Like all Swansea LLM graduates, graduates in the LLM in Oil and Gas Law who have an undergraduate law degree from a common law jurisdiction, or who otherwise satisfy the New York bar educational requirements, are offered a unique opportunity to qualify for practice in the US. Such graduates benefit from the option to study for the New York bar qualification at Swansea with Barbri International Ltd -- the top international provider of US bar qualification courses -- and in addition will receive a substantial discount of £500 from the normal tuition fee.
