LLM in Maritime Law (King`s College London)
Hello all,Mon Oct 30, 2006 08:56 PM Do anyone knows if King` s College London (University of London) still run the LLM in Maritime Law? If they do, can anyone give me more info on the course, as I can not find any details on that course on their website. Your help will be appreciated |

I could find anything about the LLM in Maritime Law either. I know that there has been such an LLM in the last years (see 2006 prospectus at www.kcl.ac.uk/pgp06/programme/148).Mon Oct 30, 2006 09:41 PM It looks like KCL and UCL are just redesigning their programmes and their programme websites after having withdrawn from the intercollegiate LLM - which is a pity in my view. I did the intercollegiate LLM at King's some time ago, and I enjoyed the opportunity to do courses at and meet students from the other colleges. I have not found any official statement about the end of the intercollegiate LLM, but there is not reference to the intercollegiate degree anymore on the KCL website. I would email them or call them to find out what happened to the maritime law courses (and use this opportunity to protest against the end of the intercollegiate degree...). |

Outside Southampton and Swansea you might wish to consider Westminster - I did the LLm at UCL last year - rubbish place. Students were pretty much left to fend for themselves. I did Int Trade Law and we had someone who lectured us on Carriage of Goods by Sea from Westminster. He was really (honestly) good. If you want to be in London, Westminster seems ok - since graduating, I have met people who did the LLM in International Commercial Law there and they say how great the support was. Small group teaching and a friendly place. Sun Nov 05, 2006 11:29 PM Good luck. amanda |

I know the LLM in trade at UCL left much to be desired - I was registered at UCL last year but was forced to do the trade course at KCL due to a timetable clash - but hnoestly the KCL teaching was in parts worse. The banking/finance stuff was great as was the conflicts element but the sales and carriage sections were painfully, painfully bad. Genuinely toe curling stuff. So please don't go anywhere near the KCL trade course if you are in any way interested in sales or carriage law - you won't learn any.

Don't be obsessed with UCL- Kings or any other London Colleage if you are serious about shipping and trade law! They might have a high standing in academia but in shipping circles they are unknown quantities! That's why they ask retired academics or retired practicioners to come and teach in their LLM! They have no permanent teaching team in this area. You should go somewhere which has an Institute and a team specialising in maritime law. I've completed Swansea LLM in International Maritime Law. As far as I know, at least 2 students from my class are now in City firms. Swansea does training programmes for City Law firms, BIMCO and BP. Professor Williams who teaches Carriage of Goods by Sea at Swansea is an ex-senior partner of Ince & Co and he is consultant with the firm. Professor Thomas is famous in maritime law: he is the author of various books.

With respect neither KCL nor UCL are "unknown quantities" in shipping circles. That can quite clearly be seen from the London Shipping Centre which is based at UCL which is populated by some of the areas most dominant practictioners. I'm not saying that UCL or KCL are the be all and end all, certainly not - Southampton for example is probably the market leader in terms of maritime law - but don't write off the reputation that UCL especially has in Chambers and firms.
