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.
With such specialists, international maritime Conventions can be implemented for the benefit of the whole global community.
Maritime safety can be improved, the marine environment better protected, and international shipping and ports made more efficient.
Specialists in developing countries can make sure that economic growth in the maritime field is sustainable, with integrated planning for the oceans allowing each sector to develop in a mutually reinforcing manner.
Beyond these immediate practical aims, the University is a forum for people of many nationalities in both the student body and the faculty to participate in teaching and learning.
The goals are to foster tolerance, encourage international cooperation, solve international maritime problems, and coordinate action internationally.
WMU educates people for the benefit of their countries. Students benefit from the postgraduate maritime education we offer.
As WMU graduates, they return to their home countries and, in turn, transfer their newly gained expertise to colleagues, helping their nations to achieve the highest practicable standards in maritime transportation and development.
