Maritime Law and Business Abat Oliba - CEU University

Overview

Why study Maritime Law and Business at the UAO CEU?

1. Methodology

Maritime Law has become one of the most specialised branches of law worldwide. As 85% of the world’s imports and exports are transported by sea, full knowledge of the specific regulations of maritime law, as well as the practical aspects of the maritime industry, is a must for any lawyer interested in this speciality. These are also subjects in which there are very few specialists and which therefore open up a wide range of professional opportunities.

2. An international approach

This Maritime Law master's degree at Abat Oliba - CEU University is the only one in Barcelona that offers solid training in not just Spanish maritime law, but also in aspects of maritime law in England and Wales and the specific operation of the maritime business in the United Kingdom.
