Danish Shipping Education
Danish Shipping Education develops the shipping professionals of the future in collaboration with shipping companies, combining theory and practice to prepare trainees for an exciting future in global shipping.
Danish Shipping Education is aimed at trainees from shipping companies, bunker companies and other shipping-related businesses, and combines theoretical and practical learning. Trainees enrolled at Danish Shipping Education are employed in trainee positions at their respective companies both before and during the programme.
This ensures a strong practical supplement to the theoretical elements of the programme and provides well-rounded learning and a solid understanding of the industry.
Over the course of two years, the trainees complete academic courses in the following six subject areas:
- Maritime Law: Legal Aspects of Shipping
- Maritime Economics: The Global Impact on Maritime and Business Economics
- Ship Design: Construction, Operations and Future Vessels
- Energy & Green Transition: Adapting to Climate and Environmental Changes
- Geopolitics & Maritime Transport: Grasping Geopolitical Influences and Changes
- Connecting Shipping Relations: Navigating Multicultural Shipping Settings
