Shipping law offers you a challenging global career. Ninety per cent of world trade is carried out by sea. Contracting parties frequently select English law as the applicable law of shipping contracts, and London is often chosen as the forum for the resolution of any disputes. Study in London and be taught by international maritime law experts from the Centre for Commercial Law Studies.
You will cover aspects of the law of the sea, maritime insurance and arbitration, as well as taking an overview of public, international and European air transport law and maritime conflict of laws. Please note that not all modules will be available in every year.
You do not have to choose your modules until you have had the opportunity to learn about them in greater detail during your comprehensive induction period.
