The PG Certificate focuses on the Energy Transition of the UK’s and global energy sector. It develops core knowledge of legal and policy aspects of Energy Transition, including the North Sea transition, climate change, carbon capture and storage, renewable energy, electrification of the extraction process, and the changing industry and regulatory environment. The PG Certificate comprise of four selected modules from the Oil, Gas and Renewable Energy Law LLM/MSc. This qualification would signify, for a range of professionals, their awareness and legal knowledge of a major energy trend. It would demonstrate advanced skills development which could, for example, qualify individuals employed in energy focused companies for promotion, or facilitate career changes in a rapidly changing global energy scenario. For a legal firm with an energy division, a qualified lawyer who possesses this PgCert would signal both to management and to potential clients that the firm is up to speed with fundamental changes in the energy landscape. It would also equip middle or senior managers in an oil and gas producer with an engineering or finance/business degree, with a detailed knowledge of the energy transition and the legal architecture, nationally and internationally, underpinning it.
