About Shipping MBA

About the CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics

The CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics aims at giving participants up-to-date insight into shipping economics and modern management theories and their application in the maritime sector.

A unique holistc approach to shipping and logistics

The programme adopts a holistic view of shipping - integrating commercial, technological and financial aspects as well as maritime law and supply-chain management, and leadership challenges - which is unique.

Graduates of the programme develop a complete understanding of the challenges in this sector.


The programme takes students to the top international level in business administration, reflecting the needs of the industry in a world, where globalisation, enhanced competition, and the speed of technological change place ever-increasing demands on executive management skills.


Four governing themes are evident through-out the programme:

  1. leadership challenges
  2. globalisation of the world economy
  3. implications of information and communication technology development
  4. changes in logistics requirements.


The final integrating strategy project serves two purposes:

  1. for the candidate, the aim is to integrate all topics covered in the programme by using real-world data on a problem related to the candidate’s own company
  2. for the candidate’s company, the aim is to have a strategic issue thoroughly analysed, with proposed solutions and implementation plans.
The CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics is a modular programme with week-long modules on a regular basis supported by a virtual platform, where individual/group assignments and group discussions enhance the learning process.
