Dear Colleague, POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MARITIME LAW BY DISTANCE LEARNING The establishment of this distance learning course in 2001 was in response to the growing demand for education in International Trade and Maritime Law within shipping, trade and related industries. English law is recognised internationally as a dominant legal system providing the basis for maritime and trade contracts, with London as the single most important forum for settling disputes, both through court litigation and via arbitration. This course provides a programme of postgraduate study which will develop your academic knowledge and awareness of International Trade and Maritime Law and increase your understanding of how commercial trade ventures may give rise to legal issues. The aim is that the law will be studied in relation to how it is applied in practice, and the course brings together the intellectual rigour of academia with the experience of leading legal practitioners. The course will give you a high level of understanding and knowledge of the most critical aspects of International Trade and Maritime Law. In addition, successful completion of the course will entitle you to carry your Diploma credits onto the University's LLM course, where you will be able to further your studies through the LLM degree. Who is the course for? The course has been specifically designed for students from a wide variety of legal, non-legal and commercial backgrounds, for example: lawyers; those engaged in the shipping and trading industries; trading brokers; shipping/chartering organisations; salvage organisations; P&I Clubs; insurance; and banking. This course is also of great relevance to those who wish to acquire expertise in International Trade and Maritime Law. What will I get out of the course? By successfully completing this course you will: Understand the principles of International Trade and Maritime Law and the overall commercial context in which those principles operate; Be able to analyse practical problems; Have developed the capacity for independent study; Be able to apply the relevant law to problems that arise in practice; and Have gained an internationally recognised qualification from a UK university. We are confident that you will find that this course provides you with the level of knowledge and skill that will ultimately benefit not only yourself but also your employer. We look forward to receiving your application to enrol.

COURSE STRUCTURE
The course is 16 months long and comprises of an introductory module, nine core modules and four specialist modules (of which you choose to study one). Each of the core modules gives a thorough grounding in all aspects of International Trade and Maritime Law whilst constantly referring to aspects and important points of law from all of the other modules, so bringing together all the subject areas that comprise International Trade and Maritime Law. Each module includes: your core study material together with a series of short thoughtprovoking questions through which you can assess your understanding of each module a self-assessment problem question which will help you to develop your skills of reasoning, argument and critical judgement The course handbook, sent to you once you have enrolled onto the course, will also provide detailed written guidance on how to answer self-assessment questions and how to prepare for the assessed coursework and examination. You will receive written feedback on your assessed coursework to appraise your progress in attaining the standards demanded by the programme. The Introductory Module Your first step towards completing the course will be to study the introductory module and complete the associated assessment. If you have never studied English law, this module will introduce you to certain key concepts that are necessary for an understanding of the modules that follow. If you have studied English law before, you should not find this module too difficult. It will refresh your understanding of the areas of law that are the particular focus of the course. The Core Modules Once you have studied the introductory module you then proceed to study the nine core modules, which make up the compulsory element of the course and which are assessed by four pieces of written coursework and the examination. You should aim to complete the study of one module every six weeks by: studying thoroughly the written material provided testing your understanding of the material by responding to the questions in the text attempting the self-assessment problem question that accompanies the material The Specialist Modules When you have completed the core modules you will then study your chosen specialist module. You must choose ONE out of the four specialist modules listed on the previous page, which will enable you to tailor the course to your specific needs. You will be assessed on your knowledge of your specialist module choice in the final exam. Assessment The introductory module is assessed by a piece of written coursework of not more than 3,000 words in length. This assessment does not count towards the marks you need to obtain the Postgraduate Diploma. The pass mark for the introductory module is 40%. All students are required to complete the assignment regardless of past experience. The core modules are assessed by four pieces of written coursework, of not more than 2,500 words in length, each worth 10% of your final grade and by paper two of the final examination worth 50% of your final grade. The specialist module is assessed by paper one of the final examination and is worth 10% of your final grade. Please refer to your course handbook which will be sent to you once you are enrolled, for more information about the coursework, coursework deadlines, exam requirements and dates. For assessed coursework you will receive a grade together with comments before the final deadline for the submission of your next piece of coursework. In the event that a piece of coursework is failed, you will have one opportunity to resubmit for that coursework. The examination will be held on Friday 27th February 2009. The final examination consists of two papers, both of which are normally taken on the same day. Further details will be sent to you nearer the time. Paper one is a two hour exam which examines the specialist module only. It has five questions, of which candidates must answer two. This paper counts for 10% of your final grade. Paper two is a three hour paper which examines all of the core modules. It has six questions of which candidates must answer three. This paper counts for 50% of your final grade. Further information about the coursework, the examination and guidance for your studies is included in the course handbook which will be sent to you once you are enrolled onto the course. Tutorial Seminars During the course, you will be invited to attend three seminars in London in November 2007, June 2008 and February 2009 (when the final examination takes place). The seminars provide additional support for those students who are able to attend. There will be lectures and tutorials on issues raised by the subjects covered in the course. As part of the seminars, workshops will be arranged so that students may practise their skills of analysis and argument by active participation. The seminars provide an opportunity to raise any questions that you have, both in relation to the modules you have already studied and in relation to those you have yet to study. Attendance at the seminars is not compulsory, but you are strongly encouraged to attend as they afford an excellent opportunity for you to meet your fellow students, the Course Directors, authors and tutors of the course. Further details about the seminars are contained in the course handbook. Is it possible to complete the course for interest only? Yes, it is possible to complete the course in order to broaden your own experience and knowledge, but not to acquire a qualification. Interest Only students will receive the introductory module and the core modules but will not receive a specialist module. With the For Interest Only option, students will not be expected to complete the coursework, attend the seminars, nor sit the exam. Only the For Interest Only fee is payable.
