The master's degree programme "Sustainable Maritime Transportation & Digitalisation" qualifies you for leadership roles in the sustainable transformation of the maritime economy. You study at the only university of applied sciences in Germany that unites nautical science, naval architecture and maritime logistics under one roof – with a focus on digitalisation, sustainability and management.
Through Tandem Teaching, you learn from university instructors and industry experts together. In two intensive practical projects, you work on real challenges faced by maritime companies. Choose between full-time (3 semesters), part-time (6 semesters), or dual with your company – all variants combine online/hybrid and in-person phases flexibly.
After successful graduation, you will analyse complex challenges of the maritime economy from various perspectives, identify systemic connections and develop sustainable, data-based solutions.
