MEL is a market leader in providing in-house executive education to management trainees and staff of major maritime organisations.
MEL Executive Education offers a wide-ranging spectrum of courses, allowing companies to tailor-make a curriculum according to their own interests and priorities.
MEL Executive Education draws upon the vast knowledge infrastructure of our university. The University's long tradition in transport studies started with the work on shipping and shipbuilding by our late colleague, Professor Jan Tinbergen, Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics. This tradition is continuing nowadays resulting in cutting-edge research, often externally funded, which finds its way to the classroom in a top-down manner.
This is also applicable to our Executive Education programs. State-of-the-art research based knowledge is transfered by the MEL education team to our customers. Our Executive Education package ranges from elementary maritime and logistics education to advanced topics for industry experts. All is delivered by a team of professionals that put our mission statement into practice:…at Erasmus we don’t teach maritime economics we write it!
