It is suitable for those aspiring to be practising lawyers, legal advisers, contract managers and negotiators in these industries.
The Centre for Energy, Petrolem and Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP) achieved a high research rating in the 2008 RAE as part of the submission from the University's Law Unit of Assessment. The Unit finished among the top four in Scotland (out of 11), and among the top 19 out of 67 in the UK. All of its research was classified as being of an international standard.

The LLM is made up of compulsory and elective modules:
- Induction Programme
The Induction Programme provides students with vital knowledge and skills before they embark on the main components of CEPMLP's taught Masters and Diploma programmes. CEPMLP students have a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds and the Induction Programme provides each student with a basic introduction to all the main disciplines included in the degrees programmes, namely law, economics, finance and geology. It also provides training in research methods.

Optional Modules:
