UKZN Maritime Cluster Bursaries 2022
The vision of the Maritime Studies Unit (established in 2012) is to provide a strong, inter-disciplinary teaching and research space focussed on shipping and international trade law and economics.
Our students have the option to study full time or part time towards an LLM, PgDip or MComm with a maritime specialisation. The Unit is housed within the School of Law, and works in close collaboration with the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance. We aim to provide our students with a unique experience by creating opportunities to network across disciplines, and to interact closely with leading industry stakeholders through a program of field trips and guest seminars. This multi-disciplinary approach equips our students with the 21st century skills relevant to a successful career in the maritime industry.
