This module will introduce you to the key theoretical and technical concepts used in maritime archaeology, along with its evidence base. It has been designed to provide an accelerated learning curve for those who are new to the subject area, developing core knowledge in archaeological method, theory and materials. It begins by analysing the development of the subject and its related areas of study in order to facilitate a better understanding of current theoretical approaches, management priorities and research potential for maritime archaeology, within the context of archaeology as a whole. This provides the platform from which to consider the scope of the subject in terms of the site types and classes of evidence available; from the Palaeolithic to present day, from landscape- to site-based scales of analysis. It also serves to demonstrate what is gained from adopting a maritime perspective and how this allows fundamental re-assessment of the wider archaeological record.

Case studies, practical sessions and fieldtrips will all be used to contextualise the knowledge gained throughout the course and broaden your archaeological experience. By the end of the module you will be familiar with the scope, potential and resource base of the discipline. You will have gained key skills in research, presentation and writing relevant to both academia and industry.

As maritime archaeology becomes an increasingly mainstream part of the discipline of archaeology, public awareness of the importance of protecting, managing and disseminating maritime cultural heritage assumes a heightened importance. At the same time, climate change and the ever-increasing exploitation of the seas and oceans around our coasts dictate that maritime heritage, either in the terrestrial, coastal or marine zone, is facing more threats than ever before. This module explores the range of threats that currently face maritime cultural heritage assets and ways in which maritime heritage is, or could be, protected through statutory legislation and is managed on a day to day basis in a range of national contexts, both within the UK and abroad. Additionally, the module also addresses the way that maritime cultural heritage is presented to the public and the manner in which the public can be encouraged to engage with it. Museums, education, outreach and capacity building are highlighted as key ways in which maritime cultural heritage can be protected, managed and presented for the 21st century. You will be exposed to a number of experts in the field who currently work at the forefront of maritime heritage management in the UK and abroad.

The UK is a world leader in many areas of maritime business services, education and research and provides many of the essential services that keep world shipping in operation. While no longer a major centre for large scale commercial shipbuilding, the UK is home to significant technical and design expertise, as well as smaller scale boatbuilding and component supply. The maritime industries (shipping, ports and business services) are estimated to contribute at least £8.5 billion a year to the UK economy.
This module looks at operations and risk management in maritime industries. Beginning with an insight into the economics of the shipping industry, the module goes onto consider shipping transportation and supply, operational planning and risk management, the co-ordination of the supply chain and the impact of shipping on the environment.

Designed specifically as part of the MBA with Maritime Pathway, the module is designed to support learners who are looking to move into the shipping industry to get a better insight of how the sector works. It is also well suited to learners from the maritime industry who wish to progress in managerial and leadership roles, including those who may be transitioning from sea-based occupations to shore-based careers.

The module utilises a combination of lectures and case-studies to embed the learning around the various topic. The case study is important is a critical part of the learning as it allows learners to bring content and skills learnt on the other parts of the MBA programme to bear on the issues of maritime operations and risk. Similarly, the case-study also allows learners to bring any relevant work experience to bear on the problems raised by the case study.
