Handbook

The LLM is designed to meet the early and mid-career education requirements of legally qualified professionals working in a specialised area or operational context, or those who intend to pursue a career in a specialised or related field. This degree deals with a specialised area of Law and Policy, provides a broad understanding of that area of Law and Policy and the associated legal aspects. Relevant issues are examined, and how issues are addressed in the contexts of importance related to the specialisation area as both a source of governance and cooperation. You will learn to analyse the legal, political and operational factors that contribute to the development of specialised areas of law and policy, and devise solutions to gaps in legal and policy frameworks. Students will be given opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge learnt by undertaking a specialisation based research project relating to a significant issue of Law or Law and Policy. The first specialisation available for study under the LLM is International Law and Policy issues related to the worlds oceans (Maritime).
