Maritime Security is one of the most dynamic and expanding sectors in the security industry with an impact on development efforts, insurance, international law, and global shipping. It encompasses the headline issue of piracy alongside other security challenges such as the dumping of toxic waste, trafficking, illegal fishing and port security. The online MA in Maritime Security is designed to provide a higher education opportunity to middle and senior managers in a wide range of fields related to maritime security such as shipping, the security sector, law, insurance, development, international relations and diplomacy, providing the chance to acquire an MA qualification in one year.

Entry Requirements

There are many individuals working in fields relating to maritime security that have a wealth of experience but are unable to progress professionally and undertake a postgraduate degree because of work and personal commitments. By providing an opportunity to study online, our students will be able to accredit their previous experience and reflect on it by combining theory and practice.

To integrate such previous experience in to the study programme, all applicants are assessed individually by the accreditation of prior experiential learning (APEL). This involves submitting a portfolio, detailing professional achievements which demonstrate practical experience of working in fields related to maritime security. A successful APEL portfolio is awarded 120 Credits of the Masters programme.

Relevant academic qualifications are desirable but not essential. Non-native English speakers are required to provide evidence of English language skills to the level of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. Please note that all eligible applicants will have an admissions interview, normally by telephone.
