Overview
The Maritime and Shipping Management (MBA) provides a rigorous, practice-oriented pathway for current and aspiring professionals across shipowning, chartering, port operations, marine insurance, and maritime services. The program blends executive-level management training with deep sector knowledge—covering shipping operations, cargo and port management, carriage of goods and chartering, marine environmental governance, insurance and risk, ocean processes relevant to navigation and safety, and maritime economics and finance (including modern data-driven and quantum-finance concepts).
Through applied assignments, case studies, and a supervised dissertation, graduates learn to diagnose operational challenges, make evidence-based decisions, and lead teams in a dynamic, international industry.
