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.

Shipping plays a critical role in the global economy and is generally considered a very well-regulated part of the marine industry, not least internationally by the International Maritime Organization. However, sometimes things may still go wrong with ships at sea due to the inherently risky activities and perils to which they are exposed, such as collisions, running into heavy weather, various navigation incidents leading to pollution and/or casualties, and many other risks ‘of’ and ‘at’ the sea. The module of Admiralty Law: Principles and Liabilities considers the essential legal aspects of the maritime adventure that were mostly developed by the Admiralty Court in England and which have now been embraced by many other jurisdictions in the world.

The module is aimed at providing a broad overview of adult learning and adult learners. It touches upon FE, HE and work based learning. It aims to explore the barriers and enablers to adult learning and how such learning is a vital part of the world of work. It considers the perspectives of learning from a range of stakeholders view points and examines how these factors compete and interact. It aims to explore the underpinning learning theory that most impacts upon adults and their learning environment. Finally, it considers why learning in organisations may be ineffective and how attempts can be made to maximise the impact of learning at work.

Advanced Aeronautics further develops student’s knowledge in aerodynamics as applied to fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft beyond the level achieved in Part II Aerodynamics, focusing on the application of basic fluid dynamics principles to flow over external aerodynamic surfaces. This includes methods to calculate the potential flow outside the boundary layer as well as method to calculate the boundary layer itself, with understanding of laminar and turbulent boundary layers as well as the process of transition to turbulence. These methods were applied to wings and rotorcraft dynamic analysis.
