Overview
The LLM International Maritime Law and Sustainability provides advanced legal knowledge and practical skills in a field of growing global importance. You will explore contemporary issues in maritime law and sustainability using English law as an exemplar set against an international backdrop. Through a blend of compulsory and optional modules, you will gain critical insight into the legal, regulatory and commercial complexities facing the maritime industry and wider blue economy. The Centre for the Study of Law in Theory and Practice (LTAP) at Liverpool John Moores University bridges rigorous legal theory with practical application, delivering research that engages with global regulatory, environmental and societal challenges. With expertise spanning business, corporate and technology law alongside international, comparative and public law, LTAP offers students an intellectually rich and applied environment. This robust foundation aligns exceptionally well with the LLM in International Maritime Law and Sustainability, equipping students to explore the dynamic intersection of maritime legal frameworks, sustainable development and the blue economy from both domestic and international perspectives. Please note, optional modules detailed below will only run if there are 10 students or more. The Rice-Jones Trust Scholarship The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust was set by an individual who wanted to benefit postgraduate law students studying in the North West of England. The individual's late husband and father were both lawyers, and this inspired her to help students who show academic promise and a commitment to the legal profession, but who may not necessarily have the financial support to undertake their studies. The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust is registered at the Charity Commission with registration number 1171890. Click here for full details. The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust Scholarship is available to applicants who have accepted a place to study on a postgraduate law course, including but not limited to the Graduate Diploma in Law, the Legal Practice Course, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, the Bar Professional Training Course or the Master's in Law. The amount offered and purpose for which the Scholarship award is offered is at the absolute discretion of The Rice-Jones Charitable Trust and may vary per individual. A successful applicant may be in receipt of a grant of up to £20,000. Applications must be received before 29 May 2026.
