Environmental Regulation and Sustainable Development LLM

“I very much enjoyed my undergraduate years here in Newcastle as a university and as a city. It is a vibrant and friendly place to study, which has a huge range of things to do and excellent music scene and nightlife, all of which help me feel at home here.”
