Take a single master’s-level subject online
Do you already have an undergraduate university degree? If so, you might like to explore the law and economics of climate change further by studying a single online subject at the University of Newcastle, Australia.
In the postgraduate subject LAWS6038 – Law and Economics of Climate Change, Elena and Sven provide a deeper look at the content raised in this edX course and provide a range of international case studies to give you advanced and specialised knowledge of international climate policy implementations. This 10-unit law subject runs for 12 weeks. Classes will commence on 24 August, 2020.
You can choose to study as a non-award student, or for cross-institutional study. You must have already completed an undergraduate (bachelor-level) university degree. The English-language proficiency requirements are the same as for our Master of Environmental Law program.
