MPHIL IN MALMÖ AND MALTA
INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LAW AND OCEAN POLICY INTERNATIONAL MARITIME LEGISLATION AND OCEAN POLICY
The ocean is under threat from human activities, arising in part from the lack of proper governance of the waters within and beyond the limits of national jurisdiction. There is an urgent need to examine and reconsider the current regime to seek a secure, stable, safe and sustainable ocean governance for the 21st century. The innovative MPhil programme has been designed in partnership by IMO’s two sister institutions, WMU and the IMO
International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, to play a part in ensuring the future sustainability of the world’s oceans in accordance with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The two-year programme is designed to train maritime experts, immersed in the UN system structure and goals, who can advocate for the policies and legislation to transform the world’s oceans and support their sustainable development. The programme had its first intake in 2017.
