Introduction
This degree is designed to prepare students for management careers in the dynamic and internationally-focused maritime and logistics industries and related areas.
This course is unique because it combines core business principles, for example accounting, finance, marketing, economics, business law and strategic management with more specific maritime industry units of study, such as ports and terminal management, commercial shipping and maritime economics. These are studied in combination with logistics-based units of study, to provide the necessary focus and an in-depth appreciation of the issues confronting the maritime and logistics industries. The course culminates with the Maritime and Logistics Management Project that requires students to apply business research techniques to contemporary issues in the maritime and logistics industries.
The course is designed to prepare students for management careers in shipping, ports and terminals, freight forwarding, transport, import and export businesses, and other related areas.
Admission & Prerequisites
Satisfactory completion of Year 12 (TCE, VCE, HSC or equivalent) including Pre-Tertiary English OR successful completion of a Certificate or Diploma in Maritime and Logistics Management. AMC will consider applications from people who do not have the above qualification but who seek admission on the basis of experience gained in industry or government. Students from a non-English speaking background also need to have an IELTS score of 6.
Career Outcomes
Career opportunities include management and senior administrative positions in logistics, shipping, ports and terminals, importing and exporting businesses and international transport.
