Developed through discussions with a range of international stakeholders, this programme is understood to be unique in Scotland in teaching maritime law skills, bringing together perspectives from admiralty law, environmental law and commercial law.
Graduates will have the opportunity to build their own enhanced research proposal while gaining an understanding of the law that regulates the governance of the open waters internationally.
You will explore legal issues related to international maritime law in the context of global shifts due to environmental changes, the resurgence of piracy, the advance of new technologies and reaching the next stages of globalisation.
