Summary
The LL.M Maritime Law programme offers the opportunity to acquire and consolidate in-depth, specialist legal knowledge with respect to selected issues in Maritime law and policy, combined with the practical skills necessary to conduct legal research, and advanced appreciation of legal theory. The programme offers the scope for considering perspectives from Maritime Security and Risk management, as well as broader anthropological and environmental law perspectives related to coastal communities and the wider maritime environment. It offers an opportunity to gain an appreciation of the commercial dimensions of maritime law as well as the social and environmental challenges set in the context of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Delivered over 1 year full-time or two years part-time, it is comprised in a core module ‘Studying Law: Advanced Skills and Theories’; a choice of four modules chosen from the following:
Semester 1 Coastal Cultures: Marine Anthropology in the Age of Climate Change and Mass Extinction
Semester 2 Environmental Law of the Sea Maritime Security, Law and Risk Management Maritime Law, Insurance and Governance
Students then complete a capstone dissertation in a negotiated subject of their choice, within the parameters of the award title.
