Mapúa-PTC College of Maritime Education (Mapúa-PTC CMET), a unique industryacademic linkage between PTC and the Malayan Colleges Laguna, is proud to announce that it will now be offering a Master of Science in Shipping Business program starting in August 2022. This has been made possible through the partnership of Malayan Colleges Laguna (MCL), a Mapúa School, and the Business College of Athens (BCA College), one of the largest educational institutions in Greece.

“We recognize how challenging it can be for seafarers and other professionals to balance their career and family responsibilities to obtain a graduate diploma. We designed this program to make learning more accessible to students around the world at their own pace, convenience, and learning style,” MCL’s CHED consultant and PTC’s Education and Training Head C/E Alfredo G. Haboc said.

The MSc Shipping Business program focuses on the international shipping business and management, providing Mapúa-PTC CMET graduate students with the analytical and research skills to assess data in a shipping company and make administrative as well as strategic decisions. At the same time, the program examines the operational and practical aspects of shipping jobs, so that graduates can assume positions of responsibility in the global shipping sector.

“We envision this program to combine outstanding professional experience with academic excellence. This also paves the way for our students to build a strong industry network and provide more opportunities for leadership positions ashore,” Dean Anthony Canson Jr., PTC’s Education and Training Officer said.

MCL, PTC’s education partner for more than a decade, enjoys the privilege to operate Transnational Education (TNE) programs by the virtue of Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order No. 12, Series of 2019, granting MCL an autonomous status.
