The Energy Institute, the leading professional body for the energy industries, has given its seal of approval to the suite of post-graduate energy courses offered by the University's Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy.

The courses have been approved for EI membership after a visit to the centre by members of the Institute.

Dr Doug Harris, chair of the EI's visiting panel, noted that, "All courses have been found to be excellent and delivered at a high standard. The EI team has been impressed by the facilities, the international reputation of the CEPMLP centre and the quality of lecturers, speakers and administrative staff. Links with industry and industrialists were also found to be a great strength".
