General competences
The academically trained Master of Maritime Sciences has a broad and at the same time specific and scientifically founded knowledge and academic skills. This appears from his/her capacity for logical reasoning, the scientific way of thinking and acting, the ability to deal with and solve complex problems, resolving unstructured problems into manageable research questions and argumentation.
The master can quickly and efficiently trace relevant information (literature or data) on a particular subject and synthesise it for the purpose of taking decisions within the organisation in which he/she works. He/she can draw a clear picture of the different policy options out of which the organisation can choose.
Scientific competences
The master gets a scientifically in depth training in a specific area of maritime, harbour and transport related business administration. The programme aims to offer insight in current relevant scientific knowledge and skills in the area concerned. The programme is clearly and visibly driven by scientific research and by experience from the Antwerp and Flemish transport and harbourworld and from the legal practise.
The master is able to critically look at his/her discipline from a multidisciplinary point of view.
The master has acquired a sufficiently broad scientific basis to describe concrete policy problems and to argue feasible solutions from scientific frames of reference.
Next to this there is also a research-oriented scientific path.
Professional competences
The master should be able to professionally and independently implement his scientific competences (knowledge, skills, attitudes) when preparing, taking and following up business economic policy decisions regarding harbour and transport and this in diverse professional situations (in the broad maritime, harbour and transport sector) and in various functions.
The master is able to critically apply scientific insights and methods in evaluating and developing business knowledge.
In the light of lifelong learning the development of academic key skills – independent analysing/synthesising (reasoning), evaluating and communicating – is more important than the value of being prepared for the profession.
Social competences
Harbour and transport have a big impact on society and they are themselves strongly influenced by the general development in society. Social competences are therefore very important in the programma of maritime sciences.
The master is focussed on gaining insight in current social developments (globalisation, sustainable development,…) and on finding new insights resulting from business-scientific research and on its relevance for different management positions.
Moreover, the master is aware of the interaction that exists between broader social changes and the functioning of organisations.
Reflective competences
The master enjoys a scientific training focussed on providing insights and on recognizing and understanding problems in a methodologically effective and efficient way. The master has an independent and critical attitude.
It is the intention of the master to reflect from an ethical perspective on the position of the manager in society, on the developments in business and on sustainability questions within a globalising economy.

A student’s final result is a weighted average of the exam results the student has obtained for all the programme components of his/her training programme. In calculating the final result, the credits corresponding to the various programme components are used for weighting the results obtained for those components.
The final result is expressed as an integer out of 100.
A student whose final result is less than 50 out of 100 can never be declared successful.
A student is successful for the training programme if he/she has obtained credits for all the programme components in his/her training programme.
The examination board can declare a student who has not obtained credits for all the programme components successful if it can substantiate why it believes that the objectives of the programme have been achieved.
