Course summary

Study the first Law and Climate Justice LLB in the UK Queen Mary’s Law and Climate Justice LLB offers a law degree program with a difference as the first qualifying law degree in the UK with a specialism in climate justice. In this 3-year programme, you’ll study the core law modules required with specialist modules on the topic of climate justice. During the programme, you can expect to explore legal rules, principles, reasoning and ideas in comparative, social, political, economic, historical, philosophical, and practical contexts while being encouraged to apply this in the context of struggles and debates on climate justice. By reflecting on the core law modules with a climate justice perspective, you will be armed with the tools to interpret legal scholarship through the lens of environmental and climate concerns. This programme is for students seeking a career in environmental and climate law and policy, looking to work for environmentally focused civil society organisations and those who view law as an important site of social and environmental change.

Modules

In year one, there are three 30-credit compulsory modules: Land Law Public Law Legal Struggles and Climate Justice and two 15 credit compulsory modules: Contract Law I Contract Law II

Assessment method

Each individual modules’ assessment varies but may include one or more of written exams, oral presentations, midterm essays and coursework. In the final year of all our law programmes, students have the option to research and write a dissertation on a legal topic in place of a taught module.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice ([email protected]).

Access to HE Diploma - D: 45 credits

We consider applications from students with the Access to Higher Education Diploma. We will hold all UCAS applications until January before drawing up a shortlist based on the information in the UCAS form about your pre-Access experience, academic record, personal statement and academic reference. In February and March, applicants are shortlisted and an updated academic reference may be requested. A shortlisted applicant may be invited for interview or further assessment. The minimum academic requirement is to achieve 60 credits overall, with 45 credits at Level 3, all of which must be at Distinction. (The School of Law may specify particular Level 3 subjects in which we require a Distinction.) Typically, successful candidates are aged 21 and above at the start of the Access programme.
