International Maritime Management, MSc (Distance Education) Jade University of Applied Sciences Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth

The entire degree programme is offered in English.

International Maritime Management …

… is flexible in time

IMM is a cooperative programme of work and study and lets you choose how many learning modules you want to study each semester. You are also welcome to interrupt your studies should professional and/or private duties prevail. Most students study five semesters on a part-time basis in order to complete their IMM studies.

… can be studied anywhere you want, even on board your ship

IMM is mainly based on distance learning, which means that most modules are completed by handing in home assignments. Attendance phases are reduced to one day (voluntary) in Elsfleth and can be organised flexibly.

… integrates your professional interests

IMM follows a learner-centred approach, which means that you acquire theoretical knowledge by means of course books. These didactically prepared texts enable you to combine existing professional knowledge with new academic knowledge. For this purpose, real-life projects and cases arising from your own professional contexts are processed and solved; theoretical and practical issues go "hand-in-hand". During the learning process, you will apply new methods and exchange ideas with your peers by means of student forums. Guidance/support is provided by us – your lecturers.

The summer semester begins on 1 March and ends on 31 August, the winter semester begins on 1 September and ends on 28 February. The self-paced degree course is offered entirely in distance learning mode. Materials of the learning modules (study texts, further reading, tasks and so on) are available by means of our learning management system from the beginning of the semester. The learning modules end with assignments which have to be handed in before the semester ends.
