Employability Initiatives
* Our networking events and visits to leading enterprises within the City of London, such as Lloyd’s of London and Marsh, with a view to enhancing our students’ practical understanding of shipping and insurance markets. * Our close links with legal practice and operators in the shipping and business sectors. Several of those who give our courses (Professors George Leloudas, Richard Williams, Andrew Tettenborn, Simon Baughen and Barış Soyer) either have experience in international law firms or have worked closely with them. Members of the postgraduate teaching team also regularly deliver professional development training seminars and lectures to top organisations, including city law firms, BIMCO, IATA and BP. * Our specialised employability advice from dedicated Employability Officers, who also run regular training courses throughout the year. * Our CV & Cover Letter Review Sessions offered throughout the year and our Interviewing Skills Clinic provide students with the necessary feedback and critical advice to ensure they apply to jobs with their best foot forward. *Recognition from professional bodies – we have arrangements with various organisations, which offer prizes and internships to our students.
