Teaching
International Developments in Energy Policy (On-Campus)

This requires the students to be familiar with the relevant economic analysis the technical dimensions of energy and the policy making process. In addition the course enables the student to become familiar with current issues in energy policy.
Mineral and Petroleum Taxation (On-Campus)

The emphasis is on providing an understanding of the issues rather than teaching skills in accounting or financial analysis. These latter skills should be acquired on other courses. Neither does this course intend to make the student into a tax lawyer.
