Maritime Management

The MBA prepares aspiring managers for senior responsibility in today's business organisations. It combines current theory with the practical skills and techniques required for managing all aspects of an organisation, from functional specialisms, such as marketing, operations and finance, through to whole-organisation strategic analysis and planning. It explores the international aspects of business, the use of technology to break down barriers and construct solutions, and the enlargement and creation of stakeholder value. It develops managerial skills in the evaluation and analysis of opportunity, leadership and consultation, and organisational effectiveness and change. This 240-credit MBA is offered in conjunction with the Business School. While retaining the themes and all-inclusiveness of a classic MBA, this programme, which has been developed in consultation with leading figures from the maritime industry, pursues and applies theory and practice with special reference to the maritime sector.
