Reputed University in Greece

Athens, | Greece

Alba has a long history of graduate studies in Shipping. Being the first school to offer a specialized MBA in Shipping, we offer today 2 graduate programs in Shipping, The MBA in Shipping and  The MSc in Shipping Management, both tailored to meet the educational needs of the global shipping industry. 

 

Greek ship owners control more than 16% of the world merchant fleet and hold a leading position in the global maritime shipping market. Moreover, more than 700 Greek and foreign shipping companies are situated in Piraeus and the surrounding areas offering many networking and working opportunities. 

Thanks to the careful design of the programs, Alba’s high academic standards, and the strong links Alba maintain with renowned companies in the shipping industry, many of Alba students find a job even before their graduation. On average more than 90% of our graduates find jobs in the first 6 months after graduation.

 

The two programs, designed in collaboration with the Greek shipping community (the Business Advisory Committee for the Shipping programs of Alba), provide significant networking opportunities along with a challenging and unique educational experience delivered by world-renowned academics and distinguished industry practitioners in the field.

 

Both programs (MSc in Shipping Management and MBA in Shipping) offer specialized shipping courses. Apart from specialized shipping courses and workshops, the MBA in Shipping program invests heavily in leadership and strategic management competencies, which are particularly relevant both as personal advantages and as essential resources for companies in this sector.
