The program also addresses hautical and business students who plan to complete a master's degree in Maritime Management at the Jade University in the near future.

The course language is English. Courses are offered in English in various subject areas, which together have a scope of 6 ECTS points and can therefore also be credited to the regular curriculum at the participating partner universities.
