The final exams take place in May upon completion of the Program. Students are allowed to fail in a maximum of two Core Courses. In this case, a resit takes place in late June / early July. Students who have fulfilled their academic requirements, including the successful submission and defence of a thesis, are awarded the MSc Degree in Maritime Economics and Logistics (MEL). A student's final assessment takes into account his/her performance in the Distinguished Lecture Series; Professional Development Courses; Company Visits and other MEL activities and events.

A Certificate of Attendance is awarded to students who finish the course without fulfilling all academic requirements.
