Overview

Developed through discussions with a range of international stakeholders, this programme of International Maritime Law delivered by the University of Strathclyde is understood to be unique in Scotland in teaching maritime law skills, bringing together perspectives from admiralty law, environmental law and commercial law.

Key facts

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. There will be opportunities to not only explore the traditional approaches to admiralty law, but also link them to the current challenges.
