Hello Spitsos,

I want a prestigious choice for maritime law that would also have good teaching staff and environment.. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your answer! The thing is, i can't find the Maritime Law LLM of Oxford.. Is there such thing?

No.

I don't get it.. Why do you suggest it, if it doesn't exist? Am i getting something wrong?
Thank you for your replies in the first place :)

I didn't suggest it. I tried to convey the message that it will either be an LLM (MJur) at a _really_ prestigious law school or an LLM at a law school offering maritime law..

Bye

Oh ok!
Sorry i didn't get it!
Last question: If you were admitted both by Swansea and Southampton, which would you choose?
Thank you for your time!

Swansea - without hesitation. (As aforementioned, I would not want to live in Southampton.)

Thank you for your time!

Prestigious and with excellent links within law firms is without a doubt Bristol University.

Please have a look:

Worth applying and studying at Bristol!

Whilst Bristol University may be prestigious, their maritime law program certainly is not.

I guess that their "impressive list" of maritime law core units says everything one needs to know about this course:
http://www.bris.ac.uk/law/pgdegrees/taughtdegrees/llm-advanced-study/llm-maritime.html
"Maritime Law Core Units

The Maritime Law core units are:

Admiralty Law (Not available 2012-2013 Session)
Carriage of Goods
International Law of the Sea
Marine Insurance Law"

Southampton or Swansea on the other hand...

P.S.
If the "prestige" is so important, one might want to consider Nottingham... (Have a close look at the modules in advance - if Marine Insurance is still taught by Prof. Bennett himself, this might compensate the scarcity of maritime law modules.)

It's worth looking at Bristol and Nottingham University. Those are in my view (and I trained in a shipping firm) your best bets.

Hello there..!

Hello Frenchman,

Hi
I am interested in maritime law also, actualy I already have master degree in international commercial law from Iran but like to take the LL.M in maritime law. Is there any chance for me to get a scholarship some where in Europe or US?
thank you

Hi,
My name is Ramah, I am from France and I received an offer for the LLM maritime law of the University of Southampton. I have also get an offer from Queen Mary University and i'am waiting swansea's response. I am terribly hesitating...
many say that swansea's LLM became number 1. Is it true?

I am also hesitating between the reputation of QMU and the reputation of Southampton, swansea's LLM.
What do you think? your opinions please
thanks

I have never studied in Southampton so I cannot tell you nothing about it, but I'm actually studying in swansea so I can tell you how the modules and teachers are lack of seriousness.

This years they introduced the module of oil&gas, which everyone are complaining about it for many reasons. Firstly, five teachers delivered lectures, which were quite confused and uncertainty. One of them is a PhD student, who also marked our courseworks with results really unfair and feedback more than doubtful. (How a phd student can have similar responsibilities?) Secondly, the financial aspects were delivered by a professor who taught undergraduate students and his way to deliver lectures was quite messy and confuse. Thirdly, the phd delivered seminars quite incoherent and sometimes she was even able to give appropriate answer.

The chief of the master is not available to listen and help student in terms of advice and support. However his knowledge are really deep. I can assert that he is a good professor but he doesn't know how to act with people. ( I got good grade in his module)

Here it looks like everyone are expert of everything, so it is not rare that different professors mark the same modules. Master should be something where each one as knowledge in each modules.
Here everyone knows everything.

Last but not least, the feedback are often weak of advice and poor of context.

On the other professors such as Baughen and Richards Williams keep high the level of their class.

I suggest you guys to think properly about it, because it will be one of the most important chose of your life.

Regards and good luck.
