The Master Course in Maritime Management (MariMan MC) is organized jointly by MariMan Consortium of two higher education institutions – Maritime University of Szczecin (Szczecin, Poland) and Latvian Maritime Academy (Riga, Latvia). Both of them acts as equal partners of the MariMan Consortium.
I am really happy to introduce the international project of studies for a Master’s degree in Maritime Management – MariMan. These studies conducted jointly with our partner – Latvian Maritime Academy – offer an opportunity for intensive professional development and, consequently, better prospects for an attractive job.
Some people with seafaring experience for various reasons have to or just want to get a job ashore. The MariMan studies offer former seamen a chance to extend their knowledge of management, finance and law, upgrade their qualifications and gain unique skills opening new career possibilities at managerial positions of the maritime land-based companies.
There is a demand on the job market today for people with practical work experience who are capable of quickly and effectively finding their way in a new working environment and adapting themselves to changing conditions of work. The MariMan studies offer such opportunity. Mandatory placement in a maritime company, module system allowing to combine work with education and two diplomas awarded by two institutions of higher education in less than two years will inevitably place our graduates among highly demanded maritime managers.
I encourage you to get acquainted with the MariMan studies we offer and I am positive that some of you will join our crews.
Welcome on board!
