LAWS6172 2026-27
Marine Insurance: Cover and Practice
London has a strong marine insurance and reinsurance market. The English law on marine insurance developed by the market and by the judiciary have influenced the legal principles of marine insurance globally. This module introduces marine insurance practice and marine cover, and considers the main legal issues arising from claims and the further developments of English law through cases.
We will focus on specific types of risks and losses which a ship owner or a cargo owner will usually seek to cover in the marine insurance market, most notably partial or total loss of property and collision liability insurance under a hull and machinery policy; expenses and liability insurance from a P & I Club and also the range of cover which cargo interests may obtain. The key standard form contracts used in the London market are analysed and evaluated.
This module will also look into some legal principles relating to insurance claims and liability in detail, notably causation and third party issues arising insurance claims including direct claims against insurers and insurers’ subrogated claims against wrongful third parties. -

LAWS6171 2025-26
Marine Insurance: Law and Principles
Marine insurance is the key device for the management of risk in international trade. London remains the leading global centre for its practice, covering risks from across the globe. Marine insurance contracts made under English law, and litigated and arbitrated in London, are vital to ensure the free flow of ships, cargo and crew required for trade to occur. Taught by a team of experts, this module provides a detailed study of the key legal principles on which those contracts are based and which differ significantly from the general rules of English contract law. The module will also provide comprehensive review of the changing nature of English marine insurance law, as the effects of the Insurance Act 2015 are felt within the industry. -

SOES1007 2025-26
Marine Invertebrates
An exciting journey through the weird and wonderful world of marine invertebrates. You will learn how to identify key representatives of the marine invertebrate phyla and understand how their characteristic body plans allow them to thrive in habitats that range from the lightless depth of the deep sea to the sun-flooded water of tropical coral reefs. All lectures in this module are accompanied by hands-on practicals. The taxonomic and documentation skills that you acquire in this course will not only help you in future fieldwork modules, but also boost your employability. -

SOES3031 2027-28
Marine Microbial Ecology and Biotechnology
This module looks at the roles of marine microbes in the ecosystems as well as in biogeochemical cycling - how they interact with each other, with multicellular organisms and the environments - especially through the use of modern molecular biological tools. We will also look at examples of how these unicellular organisms, their bioproducts, and molecular biology can be used in marine biotechnological applications.
Apart from the subject-specific knowledge mentioned above, you will also gain, as a result, transferable skills in big-data analyses , bioinformatics and molecular biological techniques that can be applied in other fields.
Prior knowledge in basic molecular biology is required. -
