English for management allows students to improve their social and business English language skills. They will build skills in comprehension and

Management Accounting is the process of identification, measurement,
accumulation, analysis, preparation, interpretation, and communication
of information that is used by management to plan, evaluate, and control
within an entity and to assure appropriate use of an accountability for its
resources (CIMA). This is what this module is about. It will enable students
to analyse and provide financial-related information to the management
of an organisation as well as to firms’ external parties (i.e. stakeholders).
This introductory module is considered an important ‘opening’ to the
maritime world. This course introduces major aspects and concepts of the
shipping industry at a European and International level.
Shipping law consists of a combination of customs, legislations, European
and International treaties concerned with the rights and responsibilities of
vessel ownership and operation. Students will be exposed to different areas
of shipping law, covering the legal issues related to commercial shipping
activities, vessel registration; shipbuilding; insurance and safety at sea.
This module will enable students to gain familiarity with aspects like latitude and longitude; ports; weather; time and tides; waterways; geography
of trade etc.
