The Nordic Master's Programme in Environmental Law involves studies in Sweden, Finland and Norway and offers in-depth knowledge of international and European Union (EU) environmental law with Nordic case studies. You will get a broad understanding of the principles and mechanisms of environmental law. Further, the programme provides a specialisation in the law relating to climate and energy transition, natural resource use and biodiversity protection – arguably the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. The programme provides you with knowledge of international and EU environmental law, with case studies on implementation from the Nordic countries. The goal is to provide high qualifications for those who are interested in legal work in the field of environment, nationally or internationally, but also for those who wish to study for a PhD in environmental law. The programme gives you basic theoretical and methodological knowledge of environmental law. You will acquire special legal knowledge and skills within two key environmental fields; management of natural resources and the protection of biodiversity; and, climate change and energy transition. You will study in three Nordic countries. First at Uppsala University in Sweden, then at the University of Eastern Finland
