This degree is designed to prepare students for management careers in the dynamic and internationally-focused maritime and logistics industries and related areas.
This course is unique because it combines core business principles, for example, finance, marketing, economics, business law and strategic management with more specific maritime industry units of study, such as port and terminal management, ship operations management and maritime economics. These are studied in combination with logistics-based units, to provide the necessary focus and an in-depth appreciation of the issues confronting the maritime and logistics industries. The course culminates with the Transport Research Project that requires students to apply business research techniques to contemporary issues in the maritime and logistics industries.
