Coursework Programmes
Master of Laws
(Maritime Law)
The LLM (Maritime Law) is a masters programme offered
since the 2007-08 academic year. It enables law graduates to obtain specialized knowledge in
maritime law, a field of great importance to Singapore and the region.
Students will obtain a comprehensive overview of the legal matters
relating to commercial shipping, marine insurance, shipping regulation
and ocean policy. Overseas candidates accepted into this programme will
do it full-time within one academic year. Candidates working for
companies based in Singapore
and who wish to do the programme part-time over two academic years, must
furnish evidence of full sponsorship from their companies or the
Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). This flexibility is also open to
students in the
Graduate Diploma in Maritime Law and Arbitration, which is designed for the non-lawyer
professional. The LLM (Maritime Law) degree requires a total of 40 credits of
subjects, at least 24 credits of which must be in the maritime law
specialization. Students must thus take at least six subjects (24
credits) from a list of specialized subjects.
