The development of a modern curriculum, the collaborations with the wider maritime community and companies, the multidisciplinary research activities, and the utilization of multifaceted synergies, all within the scope of the School of Economics and Political Sciences along with the international institutions and business groups and organizations, offer the students of the Department dynamic prospects and attractive opportunities for development in a wide variety of companies in one of the most dynamic branches of the Greek and world economy.
Furthermore, the curriculum strongly supports Blue Growth, the main axes of which are Blue Economy and sustainable exploitation of the marine environment. At the same time, it integrates ports in the framework of the Integrated Management of the Coastal Zone.
Finally, the curriculum provides the students and graduates of the department with the required background knowledge to be involved in the legal framework that governs the port development and management, and shipping.
Upon completion of their studies, the students will possess the crucial scientific knowledge to contribute to the strengthening of Greek Shipping as an international leading force, as well as to the development of a modern national port system that will promote the country as a central transit hub with an international reach.
Located in an area known since ancient times for its strong economic development, its maritime tradition and its exceptional, for Greece, tidal phenomenon of Euripus Strait, the Department enhances the potential of the city of Chalkida and the wider area to become a modern shipping hub, through the development of complex shipping business activities (commercial, transport, tourist, fishing, leisure, etc).
