The Universities of Groningen (the Netherlands), Oslo (Norway), Aberdeen (United Kingdom) and Copenhagen (Denmark), offer as of September 2009 an advanced curriculum on energy law, from wellhead to burnertip.

Due to a process of liberalization, globalization and climate change, the energy sector and its legal framework is constantly changing. These changes affect the energy industry and the relationship between producers, suppliers and customers. The number of players has increased and the legal relationships between all parties have become more complex. These developments require specialized knowledge of energy law.
