Aims and Objectives

This online Summer School will equip those who attend with a detailed insight into issues of current importance in the areas of maritime law and maritime economics, shipping, land transport and European law. It is designed to provide a major learning resource for lawyers, students and business people.

The programme is designed to meet the specific needs of professional lawyers who may be seeking to expand their practice in the field of Maritime Law, and also to meet the complementary needs of shipping executives and business people who have to understand the complex legal issues which context their commercial enterprise. Also, our summer school is a good option for students that wants to introduce themselves in this fascinating world of maritime law.

The Teaching Online Programme

The rationale of the course is that the Law of England and Wales is the legal system which provides the basic reference underpinning all International Shipping Law, and is the universally preferred jurisdiction in respect of maritime disputes.

A full balance of academic, legal and commercial expertise is represented in the composition of teaching team, whose members are drawn from the Law Departments of leading British universities and Law firms which specialise in Maritime, Shipping and Transport Law.

In addition to lecture presentation and seminar discussion, teaching arrangements will include role play. These elements are designed to enable students to apply their course learning immediately in their current professional situations. Students will also receive an hour of individual consultation with the organising tutor to enable discussion of the personal and career applications of the learning programme.

The Learning Atmosphere

The Barcelona International Summer School in maritime law will offer participants the chance to e-meet like-minded professionals in a sympathetic but nonetheless demanding academic atmosphere in which valuable professional knowledge will be gained.

English is the language of instruction, but all the teaching units will be supported by detailed notes prepared to assist participants with the seminar work, and with later professional reflection. As acquisition of business English is often accelerated when students can express new concepts equally in their native tongue, it may be possible for the seminar discussion to be held in a language other than English where four or more students request it.
