Nautical and merchant navy personnel are offered a wide range of courses associated with the sea and the movement of freight. The curriculum covers issues related to marine law, marine environment, port operations and transport. Students have the opportunity to gain qualifications for employment on the management level in the international shipping business either by going to sea or by working ashore in areas such as port management, ship and cargo brokerage. Dedicated landlubbers can concentrate on the cargo business at airports. Students will have to accomplish the required twelve units within one academic year.
