Practice and Procedure for the enforcement of maritime claims is a crucial component of Admiralty Law and Maritime Law more broadly. It is a key module for students wishing to specialise in maritime law, particularly those interested in pursuing a career in legal practice. Maritime claims arising from liabilities in the context of shipping operations are entertained before the Admiralty Court, a specialist court within the High Court of Justice (King’s Bench Division). A unique and significant feature of the Admiralty jurisdiction is that a claimant may bring a claim in rem. This is a pre-requisite to the arrest of a ship, a very powerful tool in the hands of a claimant as security for many maritime claims falling within the Admiralty jurisdiction. The last stage of the enforcement of a maritime claim is the judicial sale of the ship in a judgment in default, enabling the creditors to materialise their claims. Procedural considerations are intertwined with substantive issues.

This module also examines the substantive right of shipowners and salvors to limit their liability for maritime claims under the global limitation regime, and how it interacts with specialised limitation of liability regimes. This is another feature of Admiralty Law distinguishing it from common law rules on recovery. International treaties and domestic law are considered.

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.
