Hello there!

Just one simple question, which are the best LLM in maritime law available in the UK?

Thanks a lot

I believe Southampton.

There is an article on llm-guide called "The LL.M. in Maritime Law", which lists many schools offering a specialized LLM:

University of Bristol!

Thank you, thank you so much!! I really appreciatte your suggestions, i'm going to start looking all de unis's you just told me, than you so much

Does someone has experience with Swansea University??

Yes, I do. I received my "LLM International Maritime Law" from Swansea University in 2008. If you have any specific questions or would like to receive some general observations about the programme in Swansea, feel free to drop me a personal message.

Regarding the other programmes presented in this thread, it seems to me that - apart from Swansea - only Southampton offers a fully-fledged "Maritime Law LLM" providing a "real" choice between different modules and different lecturers.

Hi, as far I know you can do it with London Metropolitan Uni. or De Mondorft Uni. - good quality and an excellent teacher, Mrs Hawker.

The overall view I would give on Maritime Law LLM's is to look in detail at the courses offered. How many courses involve actual core Maritime Law subjects and whether the programme has links with the profession and the industry.

As a general point of information City runs a suite of LLM courses on Maritime Law with the option of taking an LLM Maritime Law. With the Carriage of Goods by Sea course there is also an internship with the shipping specialist law firm Thomas Cooper

We also run an LLM Maritime Law programme in Athens for those who prefer Greek sunshine to London rain.

Thanks everyone, really helpfull advice.

As I mentioned earlier, look at the University of Bristol.

Their LLM in Maritime law is top notch and of course we are talking about of one of the top law schools in the country.

Its very simple:

1-I visited the school earlier this year upon getting an offer and later spoke with LLM students and MA students. All of them seemed to enjoy the course and lectures.

2-I had a detailed tour of the deparment, including library, all of them very good facilities.

3-I also know that one of the academics (Simon Baughen) at Bristol teaching on the Maritime LLM was himself a shipping lawyer and a colleague of one of the solicitors in the firm I am working at. He is a very good lecturer.

4-Other names that come up is Professor Jonathan Hill that judging by his level and number of publications is very good in both International Commercial Arbitration and Litigation. I have heard of him in the past.

5-The head of the law school, Celia Wells is an expert in Bribery and corruption and was involved in the new UK Bribery 2010.

This goes saying that the research there is of the highest quality and judging from all this it is a very good place to go.

I hope this helps.

Consider Swansea seriously!
