Understanding the development and functioning of environmental law across different levels of environmental governance is an important issue of our time. This requires moving beyond the traditional approach to teaching international, regional, EU and national environmental law in isolation from one other.

There's also a growing need to understand the relevance for environmental governance of the legal practices of indigenous peoples and local communities, business entities, local administrations, and transnational environmental practitioners.

Studying this course, you'll be equipped with a wide range of expertise in environmental law, in areas such as:

• Biodiversity
• Land
• Food and agriculture
• Climate change and energy
• Corporate accountability
• Environmental justice
• Water and oceans
• Human rights
• Sustainable development

You'll focus on the global dynamics of environmental law. In particular, you'll look at the mutual influences and interactions among different regulatory levels.

The programme draws both on cutting-edge academic research on global environmental law and on first-hand professional experience in environmental law and governance at different levels.

Study with us

• Learn to critically appraise and creatively contribute to environmental regulation and governance 
• Develop the skills and expertise to pursue a career in areas of transnational environmental law
• Specialise in thematic areas in environmental law
• Graduates of this programme will be able to critically appraise and creatively contribute to environmental regulation and governance at the international, transnational, national and local levels

The MSc in Actuarial Science at Strathclyde has been developed to give students wishing to move into the actuarial profession a strong foundation in the statistical concepts, models and techniques used in actuarial calculations, their computer implementations, and the financial and economic contexts of these calculations.

The program is an innovative cross-faculty alliance between the Strathclyde Business School and the Faculty of Science. 

The course is designed so that students with a strong aptitude for mathematics and statistics, but who have not studied these topics in detail in their undergraduate degree, can gain the necessary skills to move into the financial industry. It's intended as a conversion course, teaching material in statistics, economics and finance, and does not currently include specialist actuarial mathematics content (which will be studied in the actuarial professional examinations). It does produce graduates well equipped to apply for trainee actuary positions. Students reaching a sufficiently high level in core classes will be eligible for exemption from two of the professional examinations of the IFoA, namely CS1 and CB2.

Accreditation

• Accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA)
• Accreditation By Subject Agreement for IFoA subjects CS1 and CB2
