International and Maritime Law – (LL.M.)

Our LLM Programmes are designed to appeal to people from a variety of backgrounds and with a variety of interests ranging from recent undergraduates who wish to acquire specialist knowledge before starting their careers to practising lawyers who seek to compliment their day to day work with further study. Such a wide range of people require programmes to have flexibility to fit into busy lives.

If you are looking for a pathway with a wholly international prospective, then this module is clearly for you. By studying this joint pathway you will study the two compulsory modules from the two named pathways (Public International Law and International Commercial Law in Semester A and Conflicts of Law and Maritime Law in Semester B) to give you the required total of four modules of study.

The LLM’s assessment strategy is ideally suited to the needs of all students being assessed exclusively by coursework. We also provide an excellent level of pastoral and academic support for our students, including a Programme Director alongside the module tutors and also extensive research support through our research methods and skills course that runs throughout the year. Social events are organised on a regular basis.

For international students we have a dedicated International Student Support Tutor and all international students are provided with access to free English language classes throughout the academic year. At the commencement of your studies international students are provided with a two week full-time induction week, which will ensure you are fully up to date with the dynamics of the English Legal System and provide you with the best start possible prior to commencing your studies.
