This LLM provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, qualities, skills and other attributes in both Commercial and Maritime Law by choosing specialized modules from both areas of law. All LLM modules are assessed by a combination of coursework and examination, with an equal weighting of 50% normally given to each component in the final total assessment. To that end we organise a number of initiatives for enhancing our LLM students' employability. These include: tailor-made employability advice by two dedicated Employability Officers; A series of guest lectures delivered who give our LLM students an insight of the practice; the unique opportunity to get involved in mooting; close links with the legal practice and various elements of the shipping and business sectors; The annual LLM Careers Fair, which gives the opportunity to our students to meet and discuss their future aspirations with representatives from an array of local and international law firms.
