Depending on your prior qualifications and professional experience, you may receive credit for some coursework components, which will influence your starting level in the program.

To graduate, students must complete CMP 902 Law of the Sea, CMP 911 Research Project in Maritime Studies, plus one additional subject from ANCORS' postgraduate coursework offerings. Occasional supplementary lectures on relevant topics may be required during your studies.
