Of course! Shipping law is only a small part of maritime law! It covers only carriage and related issues. Maritime is much boarder than that.

Well, in the end you get a title with a different name and a "course box" with a different label on it.

If you have a look at the actual course contents
http://courses.cardiff.ac.uk/postgraduate/course/detail/p369.html
you will note many similarities to the maritime law program, but also some differences.
