On completion of the module, students should have developed a good knowledge of the historical development and core principles underlying the law of the sea, the core features of the 1982 UN Convention (UNCLOS), an understanding of jurisdictional matters in each of the maritime zones, as well as a range of areas of contemporary interest.
Students should also have enhanced the generally transferable skills and specific skills developed throughout their degree programmes, including the ability to conduct legal research (especially using international legal materials) and the ability to present a coherent legal argument. Students will be expected to demonstrate these learning outcomes through the combination of a mid-term essay and end of semester examination (involving problem and essay-based questions).
