Maritime Management
Maritime education in Gujarat was pioneered by the Gujarat University at B.K. School of Business Management in the year 2006 by initiating a two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Port Management. The School and the Gujarat University recognized the significance of Maritime Management and converted the program as a full-fledged MBA program in Maritime Management with elective studies in the area of Port Management and Shipping & Logistics Management in 2011. The two years full time MBA-Maritime Management program has been developed with a view to convert young graduates into able managers and efficient leaders who can take challenges in the highly competitive Maritime Business Environment.
Along with Masters’ in Maritime Management, the department has also launched a Master degree program “MBA in Supply Chain Management” in the year 2020. This program will help young minds to gain exposure of every business aspect right from research and design to materials and parts sourcing as well as manufacturing and the eventual distribution of products.
The department has strived to provide a balanced approach towards the theoretical and practical aspects of the program.
