What will you study?

Deree students can complete a dual degree, that is, a Deree US degree together with an Open University validated award (a UK degree), in just four years. Students begin their studies (first year) by selecting amongst liberal education courses. In subsequent years they attend courses of their major.

The structure of the curriculum progressively introduces students to various aspects of shipping management and the shipping industry.  Initially, students gain knowledge in general management principles and practices, financial accounting, statistics, and the legal environment of business, as well as an introduction to the field of shipping and its key concepts, maritime operations and ship technology, maritime history, and an introduction to logistics and the supply chain. 

This helps students to develop their critical thinking skills and solve shipping-related problems more effectively as they progress in their studies. In the next stage, the program offers a thorough understanding of managing people and organizations, business research methods, corporate finance, maritime economics, international shipping policy, transportation systems, port administration and logistics, and information technology related to the shipping industry.

The main concepts revolve around shipping, providing a broad perspective of the entire industry, and allowing students to continue to develop their skills and critical understanding of the shipping sector. Students continue with in-depth knowledge in areas such as shipping and marine insurance law and practice, ship broking and chartering, maritime financial management, strategic management, and carriage of goods by sea and the law of international trade. 

Also, students may choose from a variety of carefully designed option courses, each specializing in a particular area of shipping, such as short sea shipping, cruise shipping, cross cultural management in shipping and maritime human resource management, or in related areas such as supply chain management, project management, negotiations, and operations management.
