Master of Laws in Law of the Sea.

The 12-Month Master’s Degree Programme in Law of the Sea leads to a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Law of the Sea.

The Master’s programme is part of the strategy of the Law Faculty on focusing on internationalisation and Arctic legal issues.

The programme aims through its courses and master’s thesis to give the students a broad introduction and knowledge of the Law of the Sea, including its development and the political and institutional aspects. Further, the programme shall add to the skills of the students to identify, analyse, explain and solve legal problems; both on a theoretical and a practical level. There will be a special focus on the relevance and application of the Law of the Sea to the Arctic.

The objective is to be achieved through active participation of the students during the courses; through study, discussions and papers. Lectures will provide for the introduction to the themes while problem-based seminars will make most of the teaching where students and teachers identify and discuss legal questions. Students are also encouraged to hand in papers during the courses to develop their knowledge on subjects and analytical skills.

The objective is to qualify the students for careers within a broad spectre of areas; both at national and international level. Candidates will be qualified for jobs within the United Nations and its specialised agencies, in national diplomatic service as well as public administration and industry and commerce.
