This MSc International Maritime Studies - Shipping and Commercial Law degree is the latest addition to the MSc International Maritime Studies (IMS) programme. The purpose of this pathway is not to educate students for a career in Law per se but more to enable them to have a good understanding of the complexity of law as it relates to maritime business. In this way, graduates should be of use to a range of stakeholders involved in an industrial context.
The pathway aims to demonstrate the dynamics and theories of maritime business law including for example inter alia elements of maritime commerce; company law; contract and commercial law; the role of insurance in maritime commerce; corporate accountability and the criminalisation of the Master. The intention is also to enhance learning through stimulating student engagement by application to currently contentious and evolving areas. Negotiation and dispute resolution therefore represent important areas of study in relation to these conflict scenarios.
Career opportunities
The courses aim to produce graduates who are both technically competent and capable of management at project level and above. It is expected that those who have completed the course may look towards roles such as:
* project managers within relevant maritime organisations and business
* research and development professionals
* managers involved in the development of policies
* managers involved in the implementation of policies.
Contents
The main areas of study are:
* International Maritime Law
* Management of Shipping Operations
* Maritime Business and IT Strategy
