Titel

Opportunities and challenges for seafarers in higher education. A comparative study of the German and the Swedish system

Abstract
The paper compares Maritime Education and Training (MET) at undergraduate and postgraduate level at two maritime faculties, one located in Germany and one in Sweden. While undergraduate education in both countries is mostly defined by their adherence to the STWC convention, a different approach is adopted in the provision of postgraduate and lifelong learning programs. While Chalmers University in Sweden has opted for different on-campus courses, Jade University in Germany aims to further the education of active nautical officers while they still work at sea. Both institutions have identified a clear need for an ongoing MET beyond the bachelor's degree level, given the increasing complexity of the maritime trade. Offering courses to cater to the needs of maritime professionals ensures their progress from a navigational to a more advanced managerial position.
