Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

The global economy would be unthinkable without container ships – more than 90% of world trade is executed by ship. To ensure that all these ships and their cargo reach their destination safely, the world needs specialists, masters, pilots and logistics personnel. The program includes two semesters at sea (first and last), with the remaining semesters covering basics such as mechanics, maths and logistics, followed by more technical and specific modules like Meteorology, Personnel Management and Bridge Procedures. Students spend significant time in ship bridge simulators learning about ship safety and emergency management. The final semester on campus involves writing a bachelor's thesis.
