This module provides insight in various aspects of adaptive animal physiology including the regulation of circulation, respiration, body temperature, feeding and metabolism, the skeletal system and developmental transitions. The way that these systems have evolved adaptive differences across the animal kingdom is a topic of particular interest. A second major focus is concerned with the regulatory principles that allow individual animals to adjust their physiological systems to cope with changes in their environment.

This module enables you to build on the knowledge and skills from previous modules and experience to empower you to contribute effectively to the provision of safe and effective care for the woman and her fetus, with complex health challenges during the antenatal and intrapartum periods.

This module builds upon the knowledge attained in the Antenatal and Intrapartum Additional Care Needs module to encourage you to consider the ongoing care needs of women with pre-existing or pregnancy-related additional care needs during the postnatal period. This module also links with the Obstetric and Neonatal Emergency Care module as you will consider the impact of obstetric and neonatal emergencies on the postnatal experience of women and families. This will include the physical care and emotional support provided by midwives and the interprofessional team during the postpartum period where additional care needs are required. In addition, this module will provide the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to perform the Newborn and Infant Physical Examination. By the end of this module you will have the knowledge and skills to enable you to contribute to the provision of safe and effective care for mothers and their neonates, with complex health challenges during the puerperium.

The enforcement of claims through the Admiralty Court is crucial in maritime law. From the claimant’s perspective, many liabilities may be enforced through a claim in rem which is a prerequisite to the arrest of a ship. Ship arrest is one of the most powerful securities available for many maritime claims. After an arrest, the shipowner’s P&I Club may provide security to precure a release, or, alternatively, the ship may be sold through the court. From the shipowner’s perspective, its most precious defence is the entitlement to limit liability and constitute a limitation fund. This entitlement is crucial not only for shipowners, but also their P&I Clubs and makes maritime activity insurable.

This module considers the substantive and procedural issues about bringing claims in the Admiralty court, ship arrest and shipowners’ limitation of liability, as well as how Admiralty Jurisdiction is exercised subject to general rules of private international law.

Admiralty Law is an intellectually rigorous and commercially significant field concerned with the legal framework governing maritime operations and liabilities arising from incidents at sea. This module focuses specifically on ‘wet’ shipping matters, namely liabilities and legal regimes triggered by maritime casualties and marine risks. These include environmental pollution, salvage assistance, towage operations, wreck removal, general average. In these incidents, there may be liabilities such as loss of life, personal injury and property damage, including claims by passengers, crew and third parties.
In so doing, the module examines the distinctive nature of the maritime adventure and the specialised legal regimes developed to regulate risk allocation at sea. These are based on a mix of sources, with interaction between common law, statutes and secondary legislation, as well as international conventions, customary principles and maritime custom. In Admiralty law, tortious, contractual, proprietary and strict liability regimes intersect.
The module is grounded in the Admiralty law of England and Wales and situated firmly in the transboundary shipping context. The module examines the interaction of English Admiralty with global maritime conventions and comparative common law traditions. Because of the common heritage and international harmonisation, Admiralty law uniquely draws on case law in related jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada, Singapore, and South Africa. It integrates domestic doctrine with international and comparative perspectives and provides sustained examination of environmental accountability and contemporary marine risk governance. The syllabus is reviewed annually to ensure responsiveness to developments in case law, legislation and international maritime practice.
The subject is particularly valuable for students intending to pursue careers in maritime legal practice, P&I Clubs, marine insurance, arbitration or the judiciary. By combining rigorous doctrinal analysis with commercial and practical insight, the module enhances students’ understanding of the operational realities and substantive legal principles that shape the modern maritime sector.
