"What better place to gain knowledge of the maritime industry than Antwerp! The MMATM course of C-MAT will get you ready to take on a maritime career straight after graduation. You will be lectured by renowned professors who hold close relations with the industry. The course balances theory and practice perfectly by organizing field trips, enjoying guest lectures given by C-level people from maritime multinationals, and solving real-life business cases. To enhance your practical knowledge, you will be taken on field trips to the port of Antwerp-Bruges and the port of Rotterdam, the two biggest ports in Europe. At AMS, you will be part of a multinational team of maritime enthusiasts which makes the experience even more wholesome. If you want to combine maritime management studies in a wonderful and vibrant city, look no further than the MMATM at AMS!"

“This program has been a great opportunity to bridge the gap between industry and Academia. It offered plenty of avenues to interact with Industry stakeholders and to learn best practices and challenges, in a fast-paced market; whilst also relating to how well they align or deviate from basic economic principles. As a working professional, I found the curriculum to be rapidly evolving with market conditions, while being strongly grounded on theoretical principles and heavily emphasizing on technology and Innovation. Much thought has gone into the design of its modules, leaving students to chose between applying them in their future workplaces or to dive deeper as an academic researcher and contribute to Science, which I personally found to be a nice and unique trait to this program. Student life is a bit stretched, considering the amount of learning required over such a short duration; however, that is well compensated by the wonderful friendships you make, group activities and helpful staff around you. In a nutshell, a great fun-filled learning experience, especially if one is of the impression, that there is nothing new to learn or that Academic life is short of challenges”.

"The C-MAT programme was a wonderful opportunity to learn from experienced professors as well as interact with the industry. It was a chance to learn more about two exciting industries from a truly global perspective. I’ve even been able to apply my new knowledge at my current job. The city of Antwerp was a great place to study and live, and I am grateful for the experience that I had through the C-MAT programme. I would highly recommend the programme to anyone wanting a challenging but worthwhile endeavour."
