A unique MBA with a holistic view of shipping - the CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics


The CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics programme adopts a holistic view of shipping, which integrates commercial, technological and financial aspects alongside maritime law and supply chain management, while also tackling leadership challenges.

Through the CBS MBA in Shipping and Logistics, graduates develop a complete understanding of the challenges faced in this exciting sector.

The programme takes students to a 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 throughout the CBS MBA Shipping and Logistics 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.
