    Postgraduate Certificate Programs in Energy Law

    Postgraduate certificates are available for students who have completed an undergraduate degree, and are often much shorter commitments than other graduate opportunities. Although many programs offering these certificates place an emphasis on practical skills, some may include significant lecture coursework as well.

    What is a postgraduate certificate in energy law? Ideal as a supplement for undergraduate legal or business degrees, these programs can hone your existing knowledge and familiarize you with the ins and outs specific to the energy industry. Depending on the institution, your program may focus on laws unique to your host country or include international law, making it an especially ideal course of study for those seeking a global career. In addition to studying the governance of energy corporations and resources, many scholars spend time studying the laws related to climate change and environmental conservation.

    Your time earning your postgraduate certificate can help you develop communication and organizational skills, as well as environmental and energy litigation skills. These abilities can prepare you for careers in law or business and help you manage your own personal finances.

    Fees associated with your postgraduate certificate can fluctuate between different schools, as no two institutions are completely alike. It’s often in your best interest to consider potential costs for each program prior to application.

    Energy regulation is a popular career choice for certificate holders where they can work on behalf of global governments or corporations, as well as provide counsel for smaller entities. Combined with a Juris Doctor or equivalent degree, this certification can set you apart and land you jobs like associate energy attorney, energy and natural resources lawyer, real estate energy attorney or legal analyst. Avenues available outside of practicing law include careers such as energy paralegals, legal assistants for energy companies or law firms, risk or operation managers and energy analysts.
