Master Maritime & Transport Law 

Throughout the master’s program, aspects of maritime and transport law are examined from a comparative law perspective. Special attention is given to differences in approach and outcomes between civil law jurisdictions and common law jurisdictions, with reference to relevant standards in the international maritime and transport industry.

Depending on the subject matter, such international standards may be found in uniform private law instruments such as the Hague-Visby Rules and the York-Antwerp Rules, or in widely used standard contract forms, such as various BIMCO standard agreements for charter parties and bills of lading.

As a student of this master’s program, you will learn to adopt the transnational perspective of a legal practitioner who is frequently confronted with legal problems or disputes not necessarily governed by their own national laws. As a professional in this field, you will need to cooperate and communicate with lawyers in other countries to address these issues.
