Shipping law : Looking for a short term studie


psleen

Hi,

I am looking for a short term study, up to 5 months, in the field of shipping law or and maritime law. The courses can be given in English, French, Dutch or German.

Can anyone give me advise of which universities offer such a programme?

Thanks,

P.

In the recent times, Swansea has been said to have had the best reputation in the concerned field with there being reports in the recent past on this forum that big businesses have sent thier employees on full scholarship for LLM, only with the condition that the course be pursued at Swansea.

Of course, you might be looking for shorter term courses, still Swansea seems to be the modern-day favourite.

Historically though, both UCL and Southampton have been considered the best in the field concerned, however, the latter has been losing out the race after the turn of the millennium.

You may likewise explore the University of Nottingham (England), the University of Cardiff (Wales), the World Maritime University (Sweden - established under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation, a specialised agency of the United Nations), the University of Oslo (Norway), or Tulane University (New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.). These are universities that specialise in maritime law. They may have short-term courses to meet your needs.

If you're looking for a comprehensive programme on admiralty/maritime law and policy, the World Maritime University is suggested.

Well said opinionjurist!

Swansea is certainly on the rise and the other ones in the UK are in decline- especially Southampton which has recently dropped in RAE rankings and research income according to Higher Education Supplement I try to follow!

I agree with the observations of Hababa- I am a trainee with knowledge in this field who is encouraged by my employer to consider applying to a programme which is innovative, forward looking and known in practice

Looks like the same person is posting here with different nicknames to bash Southampton (and push Swansea). Quite embarrassing for Swansea.

I found this short course,,but its actually really short,,,,3 weeks in Un. of Southampton. I totally recommend it because I took in the year 2000 when I when there as a visiting student.

Here is the link:
http://www.iml.soton.ac.uk/professional_courses/short_course_gen.html

And also this one which seems excellent both for their quality and because it is offered by the International Maritime Organization at the International Maritime Law Institute in Malta Institute. A dream come true hehe

They also offer besides the short courses, these diplomas:
- Advanced Diploma in International Maritime Law (Public);
- Advanced Diploma in International Maritime Law (Private); and
- Advanced Diploma in International Maritime Law (General).

Dear Oma

I am indeed a genuine person and you should know as a lawyer the implications of claiming what you have just claimed. I am a trainee and Swansea has a very good reputation in the shipping circles. Nobody can actually dispute that!!
