The World Maritime University is your key to the maritime world

The World Maritime University (WMU), located in Malmö, Sweden, was established by the International Maritime Organization in 1983. The university’s mission is to provide advanced maritime education, training and technical advice to maritime administrations, industry and educational institutions worldwide, with particular emphasis placed on the needs of developing countries.

WMU offers specialised postgraduate education, focusing on shipping management, port management, maritime safety and security, maritime administration, marine environmental protection, and MET for instructors and managers within maritime academies. The programmes lead to the awards of PhD, Master of Science, Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate. WMU has become a true model of international learning and collaboration for the benefit of the global maritime community. To date some 2000 mari-time professionals from 141 countries around the world have studied full-time for a postgraduate degree at WMU. Graduates have taken up senior positions in industry and governments around the world.

Research and consultancy
WMU has a substantial programme of research and consultancy, serving clients such as the EU, IMO, governments, industry and educational institutions. The university’s consultancy services include a range of short-term professional upgrading courses in all aspects of the maritime field. So far, more than 1000 people have attended these courses and seminars. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, WMU has developed into a genuine centre of excellence for maritime education, training and research. Demand for WMU’s services is steadily increasing (currently applications for the postgraduate programme at WMU exceed available places by 3:1), and the quality of its academic programme has been verified by independent external agents such as the European Association of Universities (CRE). Thus WMU is well placed to continue serving the international maritime community in the coming years.
