World Maritime University
Postgraduate Maritime & Oceans Education
The World Maritime University (WMU) was founded in 1983 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, as its premier centre of excellence for maritime postgraduate education, research, and capacity building. The University offers unique postgraduate educational programmes, undertakes wide-ranging research in maritime and ocean-related studies, and continues maritime capacity building in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
WMU is a global center for advanced education and research, offering high-quality professional education and providing our students with unique insight into the maritime and ocean sectors. One of the reasons for the establishment of the University was to increase the number of highly qualified specialist maritime personnel in all countries across the world, and in particular developing countries.
The World Maritime University is also member of:
- the European University Association (EUA)
- the International Association of Universities (IAU)
