What Our Students Think

Southampton University has one of the best LLM Maritime courses in the UK.

I chose Southampton Law School because not only is the Law School a world leader in the maritime law field, it is also a highly rated University for research work.

I was attracted back to Southampton for a number of reasons. I thoroughly enjoyed my previous time here and had first-hand experience of the quality of the tutors.

The teachers of the Maritime Law are excellent. They are not only professional in the theory knowledge but also full of practical experience since many of them are successful solicitors as well.

Southampton Law School was the best place for me to study maritime law. I knew of the reputation of its academic staff and the University of Southampton.

Having done my research, there was no doubt that the University of Southampton was the place to go to study maritime law... the quality of the tutors and their publications was outstanding.

I always wanted to come here and I’m having a marvellous time meeting new people and really getting to grips with the law

The thing I enjoyed most about my course was the rich knowledge and skill the professor had.

The LLM is an excellent academic diploma reflecting the expectations of the professional sector. I have developed my communication skills, my level of legal research, and my capacity to work on broad and stimulating issues in a cross-cultural environment.

The University has a very expansive library and I enjoyed reading the decisions especially in the Lloyds Law Reports, and LMCLQ. The University has a conducive atmosphere for learning and the lecturers are world class academics. The LLM challenge really helped my personal development by shaping my advocacy skills. Participating in the moot was an enriching experience.

My advice to fellow students is - aspire to inspire your fellow classmates and affect change in your wider communities. Taking full advantage of the research facilities and rigorous legal education at Southampton will prepare you to face any challenge in your future careers, both within and outside the legal profession.

I really enjoyed the days when I was doing the final dissertation in the summer, because I felt the interest in research and the sense of achievement.

The course was very demanding and fast paced, offering a wide spectrum of knowledge.

The advice I would give to a student starting their degree at Southampton is to be prepared to work hard and to know that the teaching staff will be there to support your efforts.

Southampton is a brilliant choice for your study and life. It can provide almost everything needed, nice staff, great facilities, delicious cuisines and wonderful entertainment as well.

The teaching involves different techniques, such as group discussion, debating, etc. There are good chances for me to improve my ability to express my opinion and work together with fellow students.
