Course Overview

Approximately 90% of the international trade in goods by volume is currently carried by sea, despite the development of other means of transport. Today’s seas are dotted with oil, cargo, and passenger ships that are magnificently huge and complex. Most, if not all countries with strong economies have bustling and modernized ports. It is therefore imperative that stakeholders ensure the safe and efficient operation of ships; any technical failure or human error can cause a delay in shipment arrival dates and affect the business reputation and profit margins, more importantly, it can cause precious lives. Moreover, the radical technological developments alongside increased environmental regulations require ship operators and managers with advanced technology as well as leadership and managerial skills and knowledge.

It is a major step towards the provision of an integrated approach to engineering and management education. More specifically, the core curriculum covers major marine engineering and management subjects and offers options for specialized shipping and commercial knowledge.
You may also combine this MSc study with the acquisition of the professional international license of the “Engineer Officer of the Watch" (EOOW) thereby acquiring valuable professional marine qualifications and experience. This attainment is highly regarded by shipping companies.
